How did Tim Hortons start its journey?

The history of Tim Hortons is related to hockey because one of the founders was a hockey player. Tim Horton, the hockey player himself along with Jim Charade started the journey in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Here’s a quick recap of the history of Tim Hortons –

Well, it’s basically a Canadian company that has branches in other countries including the USA as well. In the very first store, they used to sell two flavors of donuts only.

• Apple fritters
• Dutchies.

It’s the largest quick-service food delivery store in entire Canada that is available in more than 4,900 locations in 16 countries of the world including Canada. The headquarters is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Tim Horton was a great NHL player, but his donuts business made him the most memorable person in this field.

Although the journey of making donuts started along with Jim Charade, he became alone when Charade left the company in 1966. But soon, a former police constable, Ron Joyce invested in the business in 1967.

Meanwhile, Horton died in 1974 in an auto crash and Joyce took over the charge of the company. Moreover, he also bought Horton’s family share for 1 million USD and expanded the business rapidly as the sole owner.

Everything that happened after Horton’s death was only for the sake of the betterment of the company.

The rapid growth and betterment were well noticeable when the company surpassed every other donuts and coffee shop in Canada in quality and services.

By 1991, Tim Hortons already had 500 stores available all over the country, and Joyce was on the verge of expanding the business abroad as well.

Tim Hortons merged twice

Ron Joyce accepted the proposal of Daniel P. Murphy in 1992 to merge Tim Hortons and Wendy Restaurant two companies and expand the business.

The idea was to set up a combo restaurant merging these two popular ones. However, the idea came into reality as the combo restaurant was set up in Markham, Ontario in 1995.

Later on, Tim Hortons merged with Burger King in 2014. And you all know that Burger King is America’s one of the largest food chain.

But actually, Burger King bought Tim Hortons for 11.4 billion USD. At the end of 2014, Restaurant Brands International, which is an American-Canadian company, took both these companies as its subsidiaries.

What is the most popular donut at Tim Hortons?

Maybe it’s a bit tough situation for you to find out the best donut from Tim Hortons in town. But what if we suggest the most popular ones? That would be great for sure.

However, by our listing, we didn’t mean to rank any of these donuts; rather we have the intention to suggest to you some of the best taste donuts.

Apple fritter –

The large size and the sweet flavor with baked apples definitely make it a worthwhile addition to your meal. You’ll have the fill of Canadian cinnamon roll while having it for sure.

Moreover, the size is so big that splitting it into two parts can still be enough for a person. Unless someone hates eating apples, there’s no chance of not liking this fruity taste donut.

Sour cream glazed –

The glazed cake is a mixture of a bit sourness and sweetness in it. Whoever is worried about seeing calories on the higher side can make up his mind to taste the donut.

Compared to most other donuts, the texture is here much denser and smoother. The main reason is that thicker creamy layer with higher fat content.

Moreover, to add sweetness to this sour creamy taste, the makers have used sugared glaze.

Honey cruller –

A soft cruller donut is doused in our donut glazed for the right amount of sweetness. It’s a damp donut that is well known as the tractor wheel because of its design and texture.

You can have a mildly crisp bite because of the non-sticky honey glaze. Moreover, it’s quite soft to eat and one of the highest selling donuts in Tim Hortons till now.

Boston cream –

Do you want to have both vanilla and chocolate flavor in the same donut with fluffy custard inside? If the answer is yes, then Boston cream is the best option you have.

It’s a yeast-based donut with soft and fluffy inside. Moreover, the inner portion is chocolate filled and there’s chocolate frosting on top.

However, if you think it’s something with excessive sweetness, you are totally wrong then. The ratio of vanilla and chocolate doesn’t let it taste like an overpowered sweet.

Chocolate glazed –

The donut is covered in a chocolaty glaze with ample chocolaty flavor and smoothness. It’s hard to find such a combo when you don’t want to compromise the taste and quality.

Meanwhile, the use of a sufficient amount of cocoa flavor with sugary glaze makes it a perfect combo, and the enthusiasts are also delighted.

More donuts are available –

• Chocolate dip – Soft donut dipped in a chocolate fondant
• Maple dip – Soft donut dipped in a maple fondant
• Old-fashioned glazed – Soft cake white donut covered in donut glaze
• Double-chocolate fudge – Chocolate cake donut dipped in chocolate fondant

Ranking the healthiest donuts (Calories in these donuts)

Well, it’s obviously hard for one’s part to choose any food after knowing how nutritious it is and what the amount of calories is in it. The same thing happens for Timmies’ customers.

Not all the donuts are fried or baked, glazed or frozen, or have the same amount of sugar. Therefore, the number of calories will vary for sure and that’s what you care before having one.

Check out the following chart that contains the number of calories available in a particular donut.

Donut name	Amount of calories
Chocolate dip	220 calorie
Maple dip	220 calorie
Apple fritter	310 calorie
Sour cream glazed	320 calorie
Vanilla dip	350 calorie
Strawberry vanilla	230 calorie
Sugar loop	180 calorie

The lower amount of calories available in a particular donut, the healthier it is. So, you can decide for yourself which donut is healthier here from the above chart.

What do they do with one-day-old donuts?

Donuts aren’t meant to keep on the shelf for a long time and stored. The reason is simple whether it’s cream-filled or cream-less, it will rot consequently and taste bad.

Therefore, Tim Hortons neither stores these items for the next day nor give them to the hungry folk at the end of the working hours at night. Basically, they throw the leftover items in the trash.

But why?

• Following their motto, “Always fresh”.
• Notorious people will wait to take it for free at night.
• It’s an additional job for the workers.

The main story behind this is that their motto is, “Always Fresh”. Serving fresh food items, especially donuts is their main motif, which may not be possible if they store one-day-old items.

Another minor reason is the mindset of the notorious people. From our survey, we’ve got to know that most people living around the store may not purchase these donuts; rather wait for the night to get it free.

This will bring an ultimate loss to their business. However, another reason is to not let the workers for extra hours at night.

If you have to distribute the leftover items among people, this will be an extra job. And the authority doesn’t want the workers to spend their free time doing this.

Therefore, the leftover donuts are thrown into the trash at the end of the day.
