Tim Hortons to Enter New York City Coffee Wars

1 Jul 2009

Tim Hortons Edmonton City CentreTim Hortons, the Canadian coffee and doughnuts chain, will enter Manhattan this August with three locations co-branded with Cold Stone Creamery. One location will be in Coldstone's flagship Times Square location, while the remaining two locations have not been leaked.

The chain will use promotions such as free coffee instead of media blitzing, The Financial Post reports. The three stores will be used as an indicator of how well Tim Hortons can perform in New York City, which already has Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, and McDonalds fighting over residents' and and tourists' caffeine addictions.

Currently the closest Tim Hortons is in Meriden, Connecticut.
