Why aren't there any Tim Hortons cafes around here?

Why are there no Tim Hortons in the area? John from Huron

We're not sure why there isn't a Tim Hortons — a Canadian-based cafe, coffee and donut shop — around here. With other coffee and eateries recently opening or planning on debuting, you'd think there would be a market for a popular chain such as Tim Hortons in the area.

Company spokeswoman Brynn Burton, however, seemed optimistic about Tim Hortons coming to the area soon.

"While we do not have plans to expand into the Sandusky market at this time, we are always looking to grow and serve more guests in areas where we have a presence. We have a number of restaurants in the Toledo area. Toledo is an important market to us and our growth there is part of our overall strategy."

We asked the question last week but it drew a lot of positive response: What stores seen across the country would you like to see come to the area?

I always thought a Waffle House would do well in or near Santown, either on 250 or at 101 and 2.

I think a jumba juice would be right for the area

Jack in the Box, IHOP, White Castle, Waffle House, Donato's. The list goes on and on. The only issue is how many people complain about these businesses before they even open. Sonic was going to be huge...then everyone griped and complained. We canno have it both ways people. If we bring businesses in, we have to be happy with just that, not being able to handpick your very favorite ones!

What-A-Burger. Every time I'm in Houston, I pound down on some.

@ FlyBoy86,
Whataburger is not to be confused with “What-A-Burger,” a group of restaurants in mid-Atlantic states.
