Tim Horton was a hockey player who started a coffee shop that proliferated across the country - and into a couple of Amercian cities, I believe. "Timmy's" is best known for coffee and doughnuts, although they also sell sandwiches, etc. "Timmy's" is to Canadians what Starbucks is to Americans, although we do have many, many Starbucks in Canada, some right across the street from each other (the Starbucks, I mean!)
