I will probably stay with Tim's most days because it is convenient and familiar. But if Dunkin opens nearby and the donuts are actually fresh, I will go there on weekends. Tim Hortons used to feel more bakery-like to me, and I miss that. Dunkin has a chance if they lean into that feeling.
Would you rather support Tim Hortons or try Dunkin when it opens in Canada?

I know Tim Hortons is not fully Canadian-owned anymore, but it still feels like the Canadian default. Would you stick with Tim's or try Dunkin when it opens near you?
AI Summary
Canadians debate brand loyalty, nostalgia, ownership, taste, pricing and whether they would try Dunkin over Tim Hortons.
Answers & Discussion
I think competition is good. Tim Hortons has been comfortable for too long in some markets. If Dunkin forces them to improve coffee, bring back better donuts, or offer better deals, Canadians win either way. I will support whichever one gives me better value.
I would try Dunkin at least once because I am curious, but I would not call it a loyalty decision. Tim Hortons already changed a lot over the years, so I don't see it as choosing Canada over the U.S. anymore. For me it comes down to who gives better coffee, better food, and faster service.
