Tim Hortons

Tim Hortons is the most popular doughnut chain in Canada. It is most famous for its coffee. It is also well known for its donuts and especially its Timbits[?] (doughtnut holes[?]). There are so many Tim Horton stores in some cities in Canada that it is said you can find one within 4 or 5 blocks no matter where you are. In Halifax, Nova Scotia, there is one intersection that has a Tim Hortons store on 3 of its 4 corners. There are over 2,000 outlets in Canada and over 150 in the United States.

The business was founded by Tim Horton[?], who played in the National Hockey League from 1949 and continuing after the opening of the first store in 1964, in Hamilton,_Ontario, until his untimely death in a car accident in 1974. The franchise is now owned by the American fast-food giant, Wendy's International, Inc.[?]. In the movie Wayne's World, the doughnut shop they hang out at is called Stan Mikita[?]'s. This is an inside joke to Canadians because Mike Myers was obviously using the name of another hockey player to make a reference to Tim Hortons.
