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.
