That is pretty much the Tim Horton's story. They sold coffee and
donuts, more than 20 varieties of donuts. Then they did muffins, then
cookies. Somewhere along the way they did cakes and that was a flop. Now
they have soup and chile and horrible sandwiches. The par baked donuts
are small and they horrible. Yet, a lot of people are very loyal to them.
