Yeah, I was disappointed with Krispy Kream. They didn't do very well
when they moved into Tim Horton country. Tim Horton donuts aren't as
good now as they were when they made them in store rather than the new
system of heating up par baked products, but they are better than any
other coffee and donut franchise.

They are omni present here. You have to live in a very small town in
Canada not to have a Hortons. My town of 15,000 has three of them.

They used to sell only donuts and had dozens of varieties. Then they
branched into muffins, cookies and cakes. Then they added bagels, soups,
chili and sandwiches... and dropped the cakes. They have decent
sandwiches, served on freshly baked buns and their soups are decent.
When I was working I often grabbed a lunch special at Hortons. It was
one of the best deals around.
