Tim Hortons Hasn't Been Canadian-Owned For A Long Time (www.mashed.com)

Just a little reminder.

Pisses me off to no end that they use the Canadian identity for marketing when they sold out decades ago.

Also their coffee and food has been shit for a long time too, coincidence? I think not.

And they are almost wholly owned by 3G Capital, a Brasilian conglomerate. RBI is just a technicality.

30% according to Wikipedia. Where's your info from?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I stand corrected, 3G Capital had a 71% stake in Burger King before RBI existed.

3G Capital now owns 30% of RBI, a company that is half-american, I still wouldn't consider Tim Hortons "Canadian-owned" because it's only partly true.

I also think RBI drove most of its franchises into the ground. I can't remember the last time I went to Burger King, and I only go to Tim Hortons very occasionally for ice caps.

I think their only good franchise is Popeye's, and it doesn't exist in Quebec. Never heard of firehouse subs.

Tastes are subjective of course, but I wouldn't eat at Popeyes if they paid me. I'd definitely rather have BK and I don't like BK.

Firehouse sells really tasty sandwiches at very reasonable prices and has a delicious chili sauce they sell by the bottle. I didn't realize it was a chain until I saw the original post.

The only Popeye's I've been to was the one on Henderson Hwy in Winnipeg, maybe it's a really good location.
