It's true. Ask any Canadian for directions and they will use Timmys as a reference point.
Our youth pastor is from Kincardine; that small town actually has TWO Timmys. I asked him is the reason was that there's the one you go to, and the one you don't go near. Yes, it's a religion.
And Boston had Dunkies for directions.
Just about every small town has 2 Tims. Caledonia has one at each end, and it only takes 3 minutes to drive through town! They get you coming and going.
Personally, I think McDonalds has the best coffee. I will drink Tims if it’s on the way. Starbucks - never. It’s like a large cup of burnt.
