No Double-Double for America.
The vitality of Tim Horton’s in Canada has been questioned very little, even during this economic recession. If any flaws exist within the company that may impede their ability to make profit, it likely exists south of the border. Overall, profits have dropped, primarily because of the weak performances in the United States. In fact, 11 stores in New England recently closed down due to the lack of sales.
Whether it’s the preference for a cafe latte at Starbucks or just a lack of avid Coffee drinkers, Americans are just not consumed in the double-double craze that exists in the north. Besides, the U.S already has a garbage epidemic to address, and there are only so many landfills to house billions of so-called biodegradable coffee cups. On the other hand, they can always ship the trash to Canada, we have plenty of vacant land for waste.
I actually started boycotting tim h’s a couple years ago (not cuz of their food), but that’s a long story I don’t feel like typing…
