Is Tim Hortons Canadian? Yes! At Tim Hortons, we wear the Maple Leaf proudly, and our roots, investments, and impact across Canada are undeniable. Tim Hortons is proud to be one of the most loved Canadian brands and a supporter of every community it serves from coast to coast to coast.

Here are some facts about all the ways that Tim Hortons and its restaurants owners proudly make a big impact across our country:
 

• 1,500 Canadian Restaurant Owners Supporting Their Local Communities – There are 1,500 Canadian small business entrepreneurs who own and operate more than 4,000 Tim Hortons restaurants from coast to coast to coast, employing over 100,000 people across the country. Tims restaurant owners take pride in organizing their own local community events and participating in national programs like Smile Cookie, Camp Day and Timbits Sports.
  
  FUN FACT! There are about as many people working in Tim Hortons restaurants across Canada as there are residents in cities like Nanaimo, B.C., Lethbridge, Alta., and Niagara Falls, Ont.!

• Canadian Operations and Jobs Across the Country To Supply Your Tims Runs – We’ve invested over $150 million in five large distribution centres and two manufacturing plants across Canada – including our flagship coffee roastery in Ancaster, Ontario – to ensure guests can always get their favourite coffee, beverages and foods every time they visit their local Tims, or any of the 4,000 Tims restaurants across the country. Those products are available for you at your local Tims thanks to a team of hard-working Tim Hortons truck drivers who are criss-crossing the country every day to ensure restaurants are always getting topped up with guests’ favourites. The Tim Hortons corporate headquarters is located in downtown Toronto with over 400 people working on how to continue to make the Tims experience better and better.
  
  FUN FACT! Did you know we welcome MILLIONS of Canadians in Tim Hortons restaurants each and every day and serve more than a BILLION hot coffees a year?
  
  
  
• Deeply Embedded in Canadian Communities and Committed to Giving Back in a Big Way – Tim Hortons restaurant owners are driven by giving back in their local communities and the power of working together with other Tims owners to create a massive impact across Canada. In 2024 alone, our charitable programs raised $44.1 million to support local causes, including Smile Cookie, Camp Day, the Orange Sprinkle Donut campaign in support of Indigenous organizations, and the Special Olympics Donut campaign. And don’t forget our support for Canadian kids’ sports, like Timbits Hockey and Timbits Soccer —programs that support over 300,000 kids across the country every year.
  
  FUN FACT! Tim Hortons annual Camp Day campaign has now raised over $262 million in its history for Tim Hortons Foundation Camps, which has  supported sending more than 320,000 youth to Tims Camps for a life-changing experience. Smile Cookie and Holiday Smile Cookie sales have also raised nearly $150 million to support local charities across the country.

Is Tim Hortons coffee made in Canada?

We are proud to have our flagship coffee roastery located in Ancaster, Ontario, not far from the home of the very first Tim Hortons restaurant in Hamilton. All of our iconic Original Blend coffee that’s served in Canada is roasted in Ancaster, with 100% premium Arabica beans. We’ve used the same top-secret recipe since 1964 – and there are only 3 people who know that recipe!

Most Tims At Home products available at grocery stores or to take home from Tims restaurants are also made in Canada. As a few examples, our bags of Tim Hortons Ground Coffee and Tim Hortons Whole Bean Coffee are roasted and prepared in Ontario, and our Tim Hortons Coffee K-Cups are roasted and prepared in Quebec.

Are other Tim Hortons products made in Canada?

The majority of everything served at Tim Hortons is sourced from Canada – for Canada. We are among the biggest supporters of Canadian farmers and have large relationships with many Canadian manufacturers and producers for our delicious foods and beverages. We also own and operate two of our own manufacturing plants, including our flagship coffee roastery in Ancaster, Ont., along with five distribution centres across the country.

Why do some people ask ‘Is Tim Hortons American’?

It’s a fact that Tim Hortons is a part of Restaurant Brands International, a publicly-traded global company. It’s also a fact that Restaurant Brands International is a Canadian company under the Canada Business Corporations Act, is traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange, and has an office in Canada, along with the Tim Hortons headquarters.

The heart and soul of the Tim Hortons brand is our restaurant owners, their restaurants, and the connections we have with the communities we serve. Tim Hortons is Canadian, built by Canadians, and for Canadians.
