Double-Double Trouble

You are my soul mate. You rock my world. I look for you at the start of every day when I’m longing for a muffin or a nice, hot cup of coffee, or as a familiar, comforting stop on any journey.  But sometimes, Tim Hortons, as I get further away from larger towns, I begin to worry about our relationship. How far away are you? Can I still reach you within a reasonable drive or are you satisfying the needs of others while I long for your company?

Timmies, you have a dedicated, loyal following. We NEED you. In the North, we will often drive up to an hour to get our fix. Please hear us; we need more!! Is it just a pipe dream to think of more express outlets, more partnerships with locally owned service stations, and more small franchise opportunities in our communities?

Please exercise your considerable reach, and partner with our little towns and villages. Consider the needs of entry-level franchisees and more employment opportunities for people who can’t commute out of town. Remember the simplicity of your roots: hockey, coffee, and donuts. A taste of that history can be had again.

Tim Hortons, we love you, but we need you to invest in the north by providing more locations to enhance business and create jobs. Until the drive to get our chocolate croissant fix gets shorter  – you get the 705blackly swat!
