First Tim Hortons

👤 Tim Horton

The first Tim Hortons opened on May 17, 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario, founded by NHL hockey player Tim Horton. It has since become the largest fast food chain in Canada with over 5,700 locations.

🍁 From a single Hamilton donut shop, Tim Hortons became a cultural institution more associated with Canadian identity than any other food brand.
