The story is McD took Tim’s coffee bean supplier so they have to use inferior beans.

But overall, TH really needs to step it up. I’ve seen flies on the donuts at different locations
it's not even a once or twice situation either, they consistently have flies in their display cases all the time its disgusting

Focusing on Gen Z, that's going to work out smashing. Every generation before them must be smegma.

There is a better product than Tim's: Country Style. Unlike Tim's who baked goods are made in the toxic sludge of Brantford then frozen, Country Style's baked goods are made on site. Tim's apple fritter isn't even on the same continent to CS. Where they really put Tim's to shame are their smoothies, they are delicious. I tried their almond milk/avocado smoothie, it lowered my blood sugar. There are only two locations that I know off: Kipling/Brookmere and Weston/Langstaff.

Here's a charming mug to tell ya about the apple fritter.

You're saying the donuts? Coffee still seems good to me.
Pretty much the whole experience, from the coffee, baked goods, to the terrible service. They just don't care about what they serve their customers. I drink my coffee black. Tims seems to cater their coffee to people who order double doubles. At that point, it's just a warm beverage. And don't get me started on what they call a toasted bagel.

If they have a “Hire Canadian “ campaign, it might work. there is a lot of anger towards TH.

But in the end it all does to the same circle.
I don't think who they hire is the problem. The real problem is who they give franchises to because Many TH locations are highly under staffed from my view point.

I don't eat donuts. Whenever someone brings donuts into the office for group share I never have any.
I sometimes feel they're offended when I decline. Especially those timbits.

I like timbits, same thing like a donut. I avoid them too, but one timbit is ok.

I was told Canada is a bad place to invest. So why is Dunkin’ Donuts expanding in Canada?

An oversaturated U.S. market. Where else can they give it a go? They know Canadians love American food franchises.

80 new restaurants with the exact same issues...
The renovations to me don't mean shit. All franchises have a policy that their restaurants need to do renovations every so often. It's just a way to gauge their franchise owners.
