There are 20 Tim Horton's in St. Catharines - a city of 140 000. Doing the math, that's one store for every 7000 people. There's a fun game - find the city with the highest density of Tim Horton's.

it seems like we have more then 20 :lol:

and pop is 130,000 im pretty sure , but with all those GTA ppl moving down here i wouldnt doubt we are closing in on 140k

I know what you mean, Gratts. I believe that there are 3 on Ontario St. alone. There's one next to Boston Pizza, and that other one closer to the corner of Ontario and Linwell...and I think there's one up the road closer to Wright's, but I could be wrong about that one. But we are definitely overrun by them!

hamilton has 78 tim hortons

Here's something I've wondered for a while... does the original store on Ottawa Street still stand in Hammer Town? (That was the first one ever) If so, is it acknowleged, like a museum inside or something?

That would be like a religous trip for me, visiting the first Tim Hortons :lol:

I actually went there when I was in Hamilton for one of the Hip's New Years Eve Shows. It's been remodeled, and there is a small display case inside with some Tim Horton memorabilia including a Leafs sweater from his playing days. Outside there is a plaque signifying that it was the very first Tim's. Plus that block of Ottawa St has been renamed Tim Horton's Way.

And yes, it was sort of a religious experience.

Can you believe there isn't one on Rosetown? There's that big empty lot across from the 7/11 that would be perfect. I think there's money to be made there. You got the start up capital?

[thedarkcanuck]

i think timmys has some sort of rule about a minimum population....wainwright doesnt have one either which is crazy because with cfb wainwright , the population is around 20,000....sorry man, no sart up capital on my end....we could use your money and my good looks though?

[fingernailsonhull]

Thorold (where I live), with a measly 18 000 for its population, has two! One by the arena, and another by Brock University, right on the Thorold/St. Kitts border.

I was in St Anthony, Newfoundland, earlier this summer and was stunned to find a Tim's there. I think I heard their population was around 3,000.

Pork Hawkesbury, NS has 3, population 3300. They are always busy, I know that for a fact. Ask Highlander.

From yesterday's New York Times:

"Tim Hortons customer loyalty and market domination is without a direct parallel in the United States. The chain holds about 70 percent of the country's coffee market and 26 percent of all fast food sales. There is one Tim Hortons outlet for every 12,800 Canadians. Mr. Kolpak estimates that is about four times the market penetration of McDonald's restaurants in the United States."
