TIM HORTONS IN ENGLAND!!!

Oh my god, asking for a double double. Those were the days. My dad also tought me to ask for a double, double, double cupped if I was getting take away so as to not burn my hands. My hubby who is British has also taken on board my dad's teaching and tried it at the Cafe Nero in Melton Mowbray and they looked at him like he was speaking Japanese.

So, everyone keeps saying that there is Tim Hortons in England, but where!?! I live in Derby (Midlands). I have heard tempting rumors about one on the M25 somewhere, but that's like finding a needle in a Haystack. And is it true that there is more than one? Please help me find them.even if they just have timbits.

The Canada shop in Covent garden has started selling Timmy Ho's coffee by the canister if you have a coffee maker in your flat as well.

. theres a Canada shop in Covent Garden?! WHERE!

oh, and you wanna hear something sad? I made a day trip to Newcastle's Metro Centre for the sole purpose of having Timmy's. BUT I GOT LOST IN THE DAMN MALL. i bawled my eyes out and went back home, sans timbit-fix. but i'm planning another trip soon!

Mmm, Timmy's.I remember teaching my (British) husband the meaning of double-double.
Apparently there's one in Dublin, at the zoo - detected by my in-laws who also learned the glories of a simple coffee and donut while at our wedding in Ontario.
Where is the Gillingham Tim's? Is that the same as the one at the Road Chef on the M25, or a different one? I know what I'll be doing this weekend!

Just for anyone else foolish enough to go.

I went to the M25 Clacket Lane Services (Eastbound) and there is NO TIM HORTONS.
I saw a small store front that may have once been a Timmys but it had been taken over by the evil that is Costa Coffee.

I am so depressed

Belle_lune,

The Canada/Australia/NewZealand/South Africa! shop is at 27 Maiden Lane in London (WC2). The shop is located in the same street as the Maple Leaf Pub (Yeah for all Canadians) close to Covent Garden.
There is not a huge choice however it you are looking for the Oreo cookies, etc.this is the place (Of course, this is all imported goodies so its not cheap, especially when you consider the exchange rate and how much cheaper it would be to actually get this stuff in the Canada)

There are various instances of people trying to open up franchises in the UK and elsewhere that are popular in their home countries. Usually they are heavily subsidised and usually the home company owns at least the first outlet.

Domino's Pizza is a good example, they opened up their own stores then franchised them in the UK.

Subway have also been successful.

Wendy's wasn't, and as a result, Tim Horton's wasn't. Dunkin' Donuts also bit the dust. However apparently Krispy Kreme are going to try.

Red Lobster also tried and failed. McDonald's and Burger King have been ridiculously successful.

KFC nearly failed until they came up with a completely different menu for the UK.

There is a new Tim Hortons in London. The kiosk is in SPAR on 58 Haymarket Street.


Enjoy!

Anything Manchester/Chester/Liverpool way yet?

Why don't they serve coffee?
