Tim Hortons Inc (NYSE:THI)

Higher quality that Dunkin, they mandate their franchisees only own one store to keep quality up so I think they will start taking the market away from Dunkin in the US and will grow at a good consistent rate.

crowded whenever I go or go past!

Tim Horton's has an unbeatable brand in Canada, and is expanding at a healthy clip in the United States. They are introducing ever-higher margin products into their stores and expanding well in the lunch and dinner segments. P/E is at the higher end, but business risk is low and competition in their home market is relatively low. This company has a wide moat.

long lines waiting for service,best service,they are growing considering western new york area is weak

4% same store growth in a world of 2% GDP Growth. Intense following, and great growth potential in N America

Good growth and a cult like following. New international expansion in middle east.

I like "Timmy's" but this may be a "dead year for them. There's a lot of competition in the coffee market, and their stores are kinda...drab. They have beem trying to get into both New England and the Great American Northwest, but it's just not happening. Their bag coffee isn't doing too hot in stores, either. Outside North America, they're not.

Company has saturated Canadian market with over 3,000 locations there. For a country with a population of just 30 million, that equals 1 for every 10,000 Canadians. Starbucks hit saturation in the US with less than half that ratio, and even McDonald's and Subway only have about 30,000 locations worldwide.
Expansion in the US has not taken off either for Tim's. They may find growth with new panini sandwiches but it's not enough to justify a P/E of 21.

Excellent presence in the canadian market. Always improving menu, changing this so slightly but with great results.

Only worry, their new "espresso" coffee. Not up to par.

CEO quit a while back and they still haven't found a replacement. When they do, and they get a firmer vision, the company should increase its presence in Canada and the US.

Tim Horton's has perfected the drive-thru and great food. I have become addicted to THI for weekday breakfast. Every day I continue to be impressed with their ability to move any length of line quickly through their drive-throughs. My average time to get breakfast is under 3 minutes. I regularly go to four locations and the quality of food and speed of service is very consistent between these locations. Probably because they have great friendly people at each location, even startups. They also continue to develop their menu with interesting choices for lunch and breakfast, plus they have a nice seasonal change in their menu. Plus they are adding Coldstone ice cream service to many locations, so you have a reason to stop for an evening treat.

I have never gone past a store that does't have a line of cars for breakfast or lunch. It's a chalenge to get past without getting in an accident.

If I need a quick coffee - it's Timmies, if I buy food on the go - 50% of the time it's Timmies, If I'm meeting up with somebody - it's Timmies. Well priced fresh baked goods made throughout the day, made to order sandwhiches, coffee... and the official workweek breakfast destination of Canada. Beautiful stores and also smaller locations in many gas station convenience stores. Extended period of testing and development of the business model in Canada... Now it's time to grow 3 fold over the next decade in the North Eastern U.S. Solid dividend.

Tim Horton's suddenly popping up in NYC.
Decent food, well priced, good looking interior. I like the place and I like where it's going

Expansion will prove to be successful....good food, donuts coffee and more at a fair price.

Terrific company. They have an enormous presence i Canada. They are making inroads in Michigan and other border states. They have great coffee, sandwiches, etc. A winner.
