In the spring of 1963, Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Tim Horton met businessman Jim Charade. Charade had left his job as manager of a Scarborough, Ontario, doughnut plant to open a store called Your Do-nut in a strip mall at Lawrence and Warden avenues. The store was two doors from the barber shop where Horton got his signature brush cut. Horton h...
The franchisee of the first Tim Hortons was Spencer Brown, a 21-year-old bank clerk from Toronto. Although the restaurant was an immediate hit with shift workers at nearby steel plants — as much for the caffeine the coffee provided as for its doughnuts — Brown and Jim Charade quickly fell out. Brown left and went on to be a successful hotel operato...

The other 49.5 per cent were held by Horton’s widow, Lori, with whom he had four daughters. The new partnership was unworkable. Lori had never been involved in the day-to-day business, and when Horton died she ha...
In 1995, Ron Joyce sold the company in a merger with the American fast-food chain Wendy’s. Head office remained in Oakville, Ontario, but the company was registered in Delaware. The Wendy’s ownership allowed Tim Hortons to more aggressively pursue expansion opportunities in the northeastern United States as it continued to grow in Canada. Joyce rem...

For all its challenges, Tim Hortons remained a premium franchise restaurant chain, regularly heralded as one of Canada’s most respected brands. That attracted the attention of a Brazilian private equity firm, 3G Capital, which owned Burger King. In October 2014, Canada’s federal competition bureau approved 3G Capital’s takeover. The ownership chang...
In the 1990s, the idea that typical Canadians frequented coffee-and-doughnut shops began to take hold in the popular imagination. The Canadian satirical television program Royal Canadian Air Farce contributed to the popularization of this notion through its regular “A Canadian Moment” sketch. The sketch debuted on 3 December 1993 and featured “the ...
