Tim Hortons is the major coffee and donut chain up here. They used to
have close to 30 types of donuts to choose from, all freshly made in the
store. Some franchisees would get a number of stores in the same area
and one store would cook for all the them. Then the switched to a
system where the products were all produced in one facility and par
baked and then finished off at the local stores. They are nowhere near
as good as the used to be.
