    It's Canadian Dunkin Donuts. Objectively not exceptional but has a regional following.

    Pity Tim Horton's has gone downhill for awhile with the switch from doughnuts made in-house and the change in coffee blend.

    The current Timmy's isn't the Timmy's that most people have lived / grown up with, so here they go trying to make some bucks off their previously earned reputation. Newcomers won't know what they're missing though.

    You must have been living under a rock. Haven't you heard? China is the future, biggest market in the world, must enter at any cost or lose out. Can...only...be... successful!!111

    Tim Hortons is a brand that only Canadians can enjoy, possibly because they grew up with it. The coffee is truck stop coffee and the donuts are completely completely average.

    I guess the brand for Canadians is somewhat akin to Vegemite to Australians.

    I don't know about this . . . rarely has a doughnut left an emotional scar, where as Vegemite often does damage to the culinary psyche.

    I wonder whether Hong Kong is part of their China expansion? Good luck to them.
