Tim Hortons' coffee is as good as gold.
Now the Canadian coffee giant has a restaurant secured inside the fort famous for guarding America's gold bullion.
The iconic doughnut chain announced today it had opened a restaurant at Fort Knox.
Open 24-hours a day, the Kentucky army facility's Tims will serve the 30,000 soldiers, relatives and civilians who live and work on the base.
U.S. civilians have already had a taste of Tim Hortons with 500 locations south of the border.
“Tim Hortons is privileged to serve at Fort Knox, one of the world’s most respected military bases,” David Clanachan, Tim Hortons Inc. chief operations officer for U.S. and International, stated in a press release today. “Our long-standing relationship with troops is expanding to include other international forces in Afghanistan, as well as American soldiers who already know Tim Hortons from their hometowns."
Seven Canadian military bases already have Tim Hortons and since 2006, British, American and Canadian troops have been able to chow down on Tim Hortons in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
The company even offers a special Afghanistan edition of Roll Up the Rim so soldiers can win free coffee, computers, cash and other prizes.
Their Donuts are the BEST.
Canadian World Domination ping.
Darn, they let the Canadians inside again!...Sorry I just love to tease Canadians.
Where are they?
I live in the Washington, DC area, and I would love to have a Tim Horton's nearby.
Never heard of them?
one of the finest Pittsburgh Hornets and Pittsburgh Penguins to ever lace-up the skates. And oh yeah, I guess he had that 21 year stint with the Maple Leafs too, eh?

Minivan happiness: Drive through for a cup of TH (black) for me, a cup of Cafe-Mocha for the Mrs, dozen Timbits (chocolate) for the kids...
I don’t like their coffee but the chocolate Timbits are nummy.
Fort Knox? Talk about rollin’ in the dough...
Died in a single car accident on the QEW on his way to Buffalo one night.
None at all for you, of course. I've heard good things about the timbits - if I'm ever far enough North I'll look for a TH.
I live 35 miles from the Canadian border why can’t we get a Tim Hortons?
They are pairing up with Coldstone Creamery so keep an eye out if you have already have one in your area.
They moved 3 Tim Hortons into NYC Coldstones this year. They are still projected to do more here in the US but I can't find specific states.
I don’t know where the rest of them are, but we had a Tim Horton’s in Ann Arbor when I was there in the late 90’s. Not sure if they’re still there or not, but they weren’t bad at all.
We have at least 50 here in the Columbus area.
