Tim Hortons’ Canadian Fans Squeamish of American Hookup

Holly Crosgrey has been drinking coffee from Tim Hortons Inc., almost exclusively, for four decades. And she’s not crazy about the possibility of it being acquired by Burger King Worldwide Inc.
“I don’t like the idea of an American company buying a Canadian company -- it’s our brand,” Crosgrey, 60, said as she sipped a Tim Hortons coffee with three creams at a food court in downtown Toronto. “Timmy’s is always trying new things, adapting, they always have good service, and you always get your coffee fast no matter how long the lineup is. Burger King may screw it up.”
