Some Tim Hortons opened here last year (NE Ohio) and promptly failed.
That doesn’t surprise me. If I had a choice between Dunkin’ Donuts and Tim Horton’s, I’d go to Dunkin’ Donuts first. I live in Central New York State, about an hour east of Syracuse, and there aren’t any Tim Horton’s around here. I never cared for Krispy Kreme either, and there were never any of those near us either. I think the first time I came across a Krispy Kreme was in South Carolina.
