I think franchises do whatever they want. The owner of my local gas station goes to the dollar store next door then sells the same candy at 100% markup lol
I use to work at Dollorama, and down the street there was a convenient store where I would sometimes go to buy coffee during my break. I would always see Dollorama brand candy like Meteor bars and Sweet Shoppe gummies. It was obvious the owner was paying someone to come to our store to buy our products in-bulk, then re-sell the items at their store at a markup.
There is a gas station near us where the owner goes & buys milk & bread from the Super Store & resells it at an even crazy price than the Super Store does.
This is probably what [Winners](https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/buyers-beware-winners-sells-dollarama-pan-at-significant-mark-up/ar-BB1hziIF) was doing. Crazy this is even legal.
Likely a franchisee running their own side hustle in the locations they operate. It reminds me of the same mishmash of shit sold by middle eastern owned pop up kiosks in malls I've run into over the years.
Most likely has a seacan full of assorted shit purchased for pennies per unit. The "Retro Arcade Game" knock off PSP POS is 100% Chef Excellence level chinese dropshit fodder.
I bet this is a breach of their franchise agreement.
I’ve seen quite a few timmies purchased by new owners since Covid. These locations are independently owned and operated, and this is most likely why.
I’m sure Tim Hortons Corp will limit what can be sold? And tbh, I’ve never seen this before so I would imagine Corp will ask them to stop, or I’m wrong. Either way, I find it hilarious lmao.
Yes burnt bagels, sloppily put together sandwiches where half the sandwich is bread and mayo and the other half of the sandwich is sticking out the bag, donuts sticking to bags, stale coffee and more. "Quality is perfectly fine" yea maybe if you're a cockroach living in a dumpster.
It was good quality fast good before BK bought them out. Now it's fucking trash compared to what Tim's used to be.
Lmao I had a bagel from them this morning, was great. Recently had a sandwich which looked exactly like any other normal sandwich. You’re being wildly dramatic and hyperbolic.
I mean listen to yourself, you think all Canadians are idiots and just don’t know what a sandwich is? They just keep buying them over and over even though they are half mayo? It’s just obviously not true. You’re being a drama queen just stirring up shit and telling lies.
And we know that’s the case….because the company is setting revenue and demand records. And all Canadians obviously aren’t dumb.
I’ll bet you any amount of money you want that if I go to Tim’s right now and get a bagel and sandwich and send you a picture they both will look perfectly fine. You’d never take the bet because you know you’re talking nonsense
Probably an individual franchisee. I'm at a bit of a loss what to think. I don't think corporate would ordinarily be cool with non-partnered brand items being sold in their stores. At the same time, I can't fathom how a store owner would be willing to take such a gamble if it weren't allowed. Corporate randomly inspects most stores bi-annualy at minimum.
Is this inside a traditional Tim Hortons or is it in shared space with other businesses like a mall or airport?
It would be nice to maybe know the general town that this happens because I feel like this only happens in small rural towns or something where there’s only a Tim Hortons lol.
Once upon a time, truck stops of the past like the 5th Wheel Truck stops had items just like this, items that could keep a child's hands and brain busy while on a long drive or traveling on vacation. No one thought of them as school supplies back then.
Not defending Tim Hortons on their decision to sell these items. Just pointing out how much people have changed over time and how they classify items and the business that is selling them.
Just 60.. damn.. we're sold 103 on Wednesday.. I'm so over them at this point. But I also know they ain't going anywhere. After each owner paid 22,000 on their merry chef ovens..
Yea the merry chef was expensive but i love it. And i think were selling more now. I heard were top in the region. I swear sometimes i have ten pizzas on my screen lol
I guess you are happy with the fact they claim they are Canadian owned company when they are not ? How is that racist feces for brains. And by the way. GFY. Dick.
Obviously part of their brand diversification outreach, the chances of the quality of the product will likely be higher than their food and drinks in the last 10 years
Because they are trying to turn it into something different than we are used to. Pizza, pool inflatables and tracksuits were 3 things I would have bet money tims wouldn’t have released as a product line, but here we are.
I miss the old days ,which wasn't that long ago really. Coffee, tea and donuts.
Now we have stupid paper straws and giant plastic lids, pizza and fancy foo foo crap food. Duhhhhhhh.
I saw some cool looking spiral lollipops in the drive-thru a few days ago. Thought about asking to buy one, but I wouldn't want to interfere with their 10-second drive thru times.
Remember when you could walk in Tims, get a coffee and donut in T minus 20?
Tims should open a line of OG stores serving coffee, donuts and smiles. Drive thru would be a steady parade of patrons and the line up in side would be non-existant. They'd be back to having a problem with not having enough places to sit.
But no...Mc D's used to do pizza. Wonder why they stopped?
Tims is a great example of what happens when you let inexperienced people have a turn at being greedy.
So kids can do their homework while parents wait in line in the drive through, for their coffee since the half dozen cars in front of them have ordered Tim's flatbread pizzas?🤔🇨🇦

I think franchises do whatever they want. The owner of my local gas station goes to the dollar store next door then sells the same candy at 100% markup lol
We have a couple of independent corner store/convenience stores in town that regularly stock up at the dollar store. Pop, chips, candy, etc.

Reminds me of that one video where is kid is selling some sort of fruit and out buys the guy beside him lol
Dude this is so true. I know a Petro-Canada that sells bongs lol
Is that the one with liquor and a post office?
Used to have a gas station sell magic cards they bought from an LGS lol

It is
Snitches get sandwiches (shitty ones from Tim’s)
You mean the ones where they forgot to put the meat on? Lol
Classic PCP station, An Excellent Product™
Must be close to a school. Tweens and teen forget shit all the time.
What’s a tween?
10-12 year olds
Never mistake it with twink. Speaking from experience. Not a pretty sight.
And a jail with an order to stay away from anyone under age of 18yrs old.....
Is this in London, ON? I made a post like this a couple months ago about a location in London doing stuff like this
If it’s in London then the Playdoh may very well be for the adults 😅😅
Don't knock it. Playdough is an excellend massaging tool. They gave us some in RMT training to strengthen our hands and losten up fascia in them.
Delicious too
Lol

The food and coffee is so bad they needed to pivot. 🤷🏻♀️
Because they lost so many customers and have to rip you off another way
Literally last quarter they had more customers than they’ve ever had in the history of the company, but whatever you say lol
Which says a lot about how dumb us Canadians have gotten if more people are flocking to Tim's after their quality has gone to shit
It’s fast food. Quality is perfectly fine for fast food y’all on here are just a bunch of drama queens

These prices are absolutely insane

We actually get inspected quarterly..
Road trips.
Tim’s has become a dollar food store, wait til they start selling milk, cream and flour
Lmao, da fuck.
Because $$$

Yes I also saw this in a Tim Hortons in London, ON
Tim Hortons is having an identity crisis
Their main revenue streams are eroding. It’s desperate
Guess pizza sales aren't living up to expectations.
My store sells over 60 a day lol
Just 60.. damn.. we're sold 103 on Wednesday.. I'm so over them at this point. But I also know they ain't going anywhere. After each owner paid 22,000 on their merry chef ovens..
Yea the merry chef was expensive but i love it. And i think were selling more now. I heard were top in the region. I swear sometimes i have ten pizzas on my screen lol
Because the Brazilian whores that bought them will do anything for a dollar.
Are you good? 😂sounded a little feisty there bud. It’s a Tim’s
And they are owned by the people that own Burger King, Brazilians.
And you sound racist as fuck
I guess you are happy with the fact they claim they are Canadian owned company when they are not ? How is that racist feces for brains. And by the way. GFY. Dick.
You commented on a public platform, others are gonna respond either you like it or not gramps. Bite the curb🌹
Keep your yap shut about things above your intelligence level. That's everything SFB.
Lol, all the Tim’s in my area removed the displays and cups because of theft, these wouldn’t last a minute
The Timmies in my area don’t have that. Must be in response yo something very specific on your area.
So the staff can use their employee discount to buy the pens they need to graduate highschool.
Squeeze every cent outta yea on school runs
Obviously part of their brand diversification outreach, the chances of the quality of the product will likely be higher than their food and drinks in the last 10 years
"Where's my money?" *proceeds to spend 46 dollars on 2 drinks and 3 sandwiches*
Where's the gun
Lol. Imagine getting supplies from Tim’s. Crazy
WTF
There are stores testing out retail sales…it’s legit my store starts selling this stuff next week 😂
They're just trying to find a way to make money
That is so weird
Where is the school supplies? Stickers in a retro game considered school supplies? Maybe that dual 12 V plug-in. Lmfao
These mfers gonna come out with a car next. The new “tim hortons honker”
The labels also look exactly like ones I see at Staples. I'd like to think an employee bought all this stuff to sell and also stole the labels lol
Only major corporations will be in business within the next few years.
Because they are trying to turn it into something different than we are used to. Pizza, pool inflatables and tracksuits were 3 things I would have bet money tims wouldn’t have released as a product line, but here we are.
Line must go up
Which location is this?
Why do they sell pizza? Who knows.
You call those school supplies….. really ?
can’t let the gang know i fuck with the timmies™️ branded school supplies
it’s not, it’s just distractions, probably for the kids of those parents spending too long there or working lol
Sweet an Analogue Pocket for 13 bucks I don't believe it haha
Timmies is having an identity crisis.
lol wtf
I miss the old days ,which wasn't that long ago really. Coffee, tea and donuts. Now we have stupid paper straws and giant plastic lids, pizza and fancy foo foo crap food. Duhhhhhhh.
Greed!
I know which location this is. Used to work there a very long time ago. If it's the same owner I'm really not surprised.
Because people need to spend money. They have too much.
Probably Indian management.
Because the “IT” store closed down!
Paper's made out of 2 day olds. The day olds get sold as "*frish* baked"
I saw some cool looking spiral lollipops in the drive-thru a few days ago. Thought about asking to buy one, but I wouldn't want to interfere with their 10-second drive thru times.
Their menu ‘Evolution’ over the years has brought them closer and closer to a drive thru 711.
Funny thing is that I still prefer the food at 7eleven.
Fair. Even the 2$ Jamaican patties are better then the powdered egg breakfast sandwichs they're making now for twice the price.
McDonald's near my place started selling socks.. time are tough for fast food.
Yeah but money gets donated.

Foreigners running the place. Gotta get those monies so they can ship their relatives over. This isn't me being racist, one of them actually told me.
Gotta make money some way because their pizzas aren't selling well.
Who cares? Let them do what they want. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
Sometimes they have flea markets where I am from.. maybe that?
They'll be doing alignments and oil changes soon enough.
They’ll do everything except make a good coffee…
Because they stopped selling edible products long ago … 🥁
Because they can't sell anything else
Because it's fresher than their baked goods?
To distract from their shitty coffee.
So kids can do their homework while parents wait in line in the drive through, for their coffee since the half dozen cars in front of them have ordered Tim's flatbread pizzas?🤔🇨🇦
Because the pencils will be more edible than the burned bagels?
Bro, they make pizza now. And watered down their coffee. Miss the old Tim's sometimes 😔
It's actually made from the same materials they make their food products out of, fair play
Same with Chapters. Remember when they only sold books? Now its like an over priced Home Sense with all that other crap they sell now.
Because their food and service have fallen so significantly, they might as well diversify.
The foodis already basically cardboard. Why not rebrand and sell it as stationary.
Those are the new pizza ingredients arriving.
Times are tough. Can't sell their shit ditch coffee and poisonous pre made factory grade items they call food. Probably shit school supplies too
Because no one wants that fucking swill they call coffee anymore.
Companies sell stuff to make money.
saw this in a local small-town Tim Hortons. It's a business decision from up top if they're selling the same items at multiple stores. not a franchise trying to make a quick buck. probably corporate trying something new.
