Introduction
It is hard to find a resident in Canada who would not know where to find a Tim Horton’s fast food restaurant. Tourists visiting Canada who don’t have a Tim Horton’s in their country visit this restaurant and become familiar with the valued beverages and specialty dishes that so many Canadians rave about. When Tim Horton’s first opened the mission statement was written as:
“Top quality, always fresh products, value, great service and community leadership has allowed it to grow into the largest quick service restaurant chain in Canada specializing in always fresh coffee, baked goods and homestyle lunches.“ (The Story of Tim Horton’s, par. 1)
By following this mission statement, Tim Horton’s was found to be the most successful marketing company in Canada. From the insightful research found, our group has chosen to research Tim Horton’s organization and its structure to learn how it reached such great success in such a short period of time.
Tim Horton’s History Tim Horton was a Canadian hockey player who opened his own doughnut shop in Hamilton, Ontario in 1964. The initial menu included a few specialties dishes from his culinary ideas and over the years Tim Horton’s menu has grown immensely. In 1967, Ron Joyce became full partners with Tim Horton; when Tim Horton died Ron took over all of the existing Tim Horton’s restaurants found across Canada. When first opened, Tim Horton’s chain offered only two products- coffee and doughnuts but as time passed and costumer’s tastes became more demanding more products and beverages, such as cappuccinos, muffins, soups, chili, etc. were introduced to the menu.

    Transaction cost economics applies to Tim Hortons in a very simple way. ‘Transaction cost economics is mainly concerned with the governance of contractual relations.’ (Douma 195) This is due to having their own coffee roasting facilities, they also have their own facility to pre-bake and packaging facilities. Thereby they can avoid suppliers acting bounded rationally or opportunistic. This minimises the interaction to external suppliers and thus minimises dependability, and avoids possible hold-ups. The transaction cost within the firm solely lies in contact, contract and control of the franchise owners.Similar to most other firm, Tim Hortons is not fully vertically integrated, which means they still have contact, contracts,…

    Ah, A Tim Horton’s double-double. This north of the border slang refers to a steamy coffee with double cream, double sugar, and to top it off, a beautifully glazed maple donut. This is a staple snack of the gray, cold, Canadian morning. What could make it better, you ask? A multi-billion dollar Canadian-American merger of course! This is huge news, as it has enormous implications for both entities, as well as the mega-company that they will become. According to Forbes, Tim Hortons has 4,546 restaurants across Canada and the U.S., and has had a 9% increase in revenues from Q2 2013 to Q2 2014. However, Burger King hasn’t been as lucky. They suffered a 6% reduction in revenue during the same year-long span, and a stock price of $26 before the…

    Transferable Tim Hortons is constantly updating products and adding new ones. They have new donuts, new healthy items and constantly new soup flavors. They create new seasonal products and even had some commemorating the Olympics. It is clear that they can add new products and it is obvious that there is a wide range of products at their disposal to add. One of Tim Hortons goals for the near future is to move into emerging markets such as India and China. They are in the process of updating their menu to be compatible with those areas of the world. Adaptable It is clear that Tim Hortons logo can be adaptable. They have changed their logo many times over the years. The element that stays the same is the cursive writing and they change details around that to match the times. They have moved now to a more simple logo in one oval with “Always Fresh” on the top and “Coffee and Baked Goods” on the bottom with the same cursive in the middle from the past where they had the Tim Hortons cursive on top and in a separate oval “Always Fresh.” In the USA they have sleeves on their cups to protect from the hot of the coffee and in Canada they double cup. This shows adaptability to environment and updatability. Protectible Tim Hortons has registered their trademark in all markets that they operate. This means it is legally protected. Due to their size and retained knowledge, others do not easily…

    My paper will support a company named Tim Hortons, and will argue how the effective use of strategy such as; corporate responsibility have just not only helped to create a positive image for the organization, but also has greatly created positive externalities. The conflict between firms and a consumer’s movement for example, fair trade coffee labelling, may give a better inside of how Tim Horton may have excelled in their corporate culture.…

    No trip to Canada is complete without a visit to Tim Horton’s, the famous Canadian coffee and donut chain which is now making its way to American towns near the border. For a quintessential Tim’s experience, have an Iced Capp (basically a vanilla and coffee flavoured milkshake) and a box of Timbits (Canada’s answer to the donut hole). The best part? Way cheaper than Starbucks - and even more delicious! For more dessert, definitely make time to try Sweet Jesus, which has become something of a Toronto icon in recent years. This ice cream spot offers soft serve garnished with toppings like marshmallows, shredded coconut, graham crackers, and even cotton candy! Don’t worry if you're dairy-free - the coconut milk substitute is just as sweet and…

    The food industry in Canada was growing rapidly in the 90s. In 1995, Canadians ate 36 percent of their meals away from home. That figure increased to 38 percent in 1996. In the away-from-home market, 92 percent of the meals were eaten in institutions. Institutions were categorized as where a consumer had little or no choice of choosing what to eat. The hotel and restaurant chains were a big impact to this statistic. Hotels and restaurants have served at least 960 million meals, which takes up for the remaining eight percent of the total meal market. 80 percent of the hotel and restaurant dollar volume was fast food service. With an industry growing every day at this rate, there is only way to survive and that is to produce a product or products people enjoy eating.…
