Rejoice, Spanish friends!

you too will now be able to enjoy bad coffee :D

I wonder if it will be such an experience as it is for English Canadians.  :P
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Maybe they should go after Germany/Poland. Somehow Dunkin Donuts is allowed to survive there.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

It's not like we don't have a massive number of cafés and café chains available already. Seems a difficult market to get in.

The most addicted persons, I know, to Tim Hortons are eastern Quebecers. Gaspésiens are the worse.

In Spain is the "standard" coffee drip or espresso?

I never had thought Subway would take a hold in France either. But it has. And Starbucks too. Though I am guessing it's the cultural context of Starbucks that gives it cachet. I don't understand what possible cachet Tim Horton could possibly offer to Spaniards.

Yeah Starbucks has been successful by coasting on its hip brand image, and the fact that it was indeed a novel concept for a café when it started opening branches in Spain. Now there's loads of "American hip" cafés and café chains over here.

But Tim Hortons? I just don't see the lure.

me neither.  I just thought it weird.  But like Oex said, other fastfood franchines managed it.  So, maybe it will work, with some local flavour added.

I remember there was a Dunkin Donuts in Madrid back when I lived there, doubt it's still open.

I hope they open in Hong Kong.  I am not a fan of donuts but I would be happy to try their coffee.

Goddammit, I want some pumpkin doughnuts.

Which is the old timmies coffee. Years ago Tim Hortons got in a tiff with its supplier and McDonald's Canada swooped in and got the contract.
