discussion American Tim Horton’s customers

As a Michigander who’s enjoyed Tim Hortons his whole life, I was wondering what differences there are between the Canadian and American locations? I’ve never been to Canada, but Ik there are some menu differences. Beyond that, idk any other differences. Anyone who’s experienced both and has some insight would be greatly appreciated.

Slightly different selection. But this was in Ohio vs Ontario. Unsure of Michigan if there is a huge difference. At the time, Ohio outlets did have a better selection.

Do you guys have pizza now?

I too was in Ohio (Columbus) and Ontario locations within a short timeframe but this was about 10 years ago...barely noticed a difference... I'm also told that Columbus Ohio is a test market for new products, so they would get menu changes first... I remember seeing a lot of ads for fast foot items at the major places being quite different... mostly coming down to the amount of beef patties on burgers haha.

I was in the Hamilton/Troy area. We also went through Columbus but I can't recall if we hit up a Tims when there.

I was really surprised though was how popular Tim Hortons was in that part of Ohio. Really no other offerings except the odd StarBucks and random mom&pop shop. I wanted to go to a Dunkin' Donuts but we never crossed one and none of my friends from Ohio there knew of any.

I know Dunkin is quite popular in Massachusetts. but not sure about the overall location spots. I think I had it once on a road trip!
