From Hockey Star to Coffee Icon

Tim Hortons may be more famous for its coffee and donuts today and rightfully so. But did you know that the chain’s namesake, Tim Horton, was actually a famous hockey player? That’s right! Tim Horton was an iconic hockey legend who played for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He started a business with Montreal businessman, Jim Charade, in hopes of making “a good cup of coffee” to go along with breakfast. It all began in 1964 when they opened up the first location of Tim Hortons in Hamilton, Ontario. They started out focusing on just selling coffee and donuts but eventually expanded to include other meals which led to the creation of their famous Timbits (donut holes).

Over the years, Tim Hortons became a household name in Canada and the United States, becoming practically synonymous with breakfast culture. Today, they’ve become an international sensation. Their dedication to quality, community, and innovation paid off handsomely and is a big reason why they now have over 4,000 locations around the world. The brand has not only served as a coffee stop but has become a meeting place for community discussions, a study space for students, and a regular feature in daily commutes.

Tim Hortons in the News

Tim Hortons frequently makes headlines for its unique offerings and community-centered initiatives. In 2023, the brand garnered widespread attention for its “Roll Up the Rim to Win” campaign, which allowed customers to win a variety of prizes by rolling up the rim of their coffee cups. This campaign was a hit, attracting millions of participants and creating buzz across social media platforms.

Earlier in 2022, Tim Hortons launched their TimBiebs collaboration with Canadian pop star Justin Bieber. This launch featured three new Timbit flavors along with exclusive merchandise. The collaboration went viral, making headlines in both Canada and the US. Articles from sites like CNN and Forbes state that this collaboration revitalized the brand’s image and attracted newer, younger audiences.

A Delicious Legacy Celebrated on Stage

The “Last Timbit” musical isn’t the first time Tim Hortons has made headlines with creative marketing. In the past, they’ve captured attention with limited-edition products like Tim Hortons-flavored beer and special donut creations for holidays. This time, they’re using a musical to celebrate their history and connect with fans on an emotional level. It’s a testament to how deeply ingrained Tim Hortons is in Canadian and American culture. With their commitment to community engagement and creating memorable experiences, it’s no surprise that Tim Hortons continues to thrive after six decades.

From The Club

I’m a big sucker for musicals. No matter how soapy it gets, there’s just something about a story filled with cliched feel good plots and charming little musical numbers that really gets me. The Last Timbit is looking like an amazing musical and Tim Hortons is giving away the chance to see it live with all accommodations and transportation paid to two lucky fans! If you love Tim Hortons and are just dying to see their new musical, this is your time to shine.
