Tims

In 1964, after Mr. Tim Horton, a legendary defenseman of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team in Canada, retired, he opened his first Tim Hortons coffee shop in Hamilton, Ontario. At first, only two types of donuts and one type of coffee were offered. At that time, Mr. Tim Horton's dream was to "let everyone enjoy delicious coffee and tasty baked snacks."

Later, thanks to his fame as a legendary hockey star and the affordable yet absolutely high-quality products, Tim Hortons stores grew larger and larger. Gradually, a wide range of products were introduced, including small cakes, croissants, hot soups, sandwiches, and espresso coffee, catering to customers at any time of the day who could drop by to enjoy coffee and food.

Today, Tim Hortons has nearly 4,000 stores in Canada and has become a national brand. For Canadians, its presence is second only to the maple leaf; you can find a Tim Hortons in even the smallest town. Some say that the blood flowing in Canadians' veins is Tim Hortons coffee.

In the ranking of "The World's Most Valuable 25 Restaurant Brands" published by Brand Finance, a leading British brand valuation agency, Tim Hortons has been listed for many consecutive years, ranking as high as fifth. It is the only non-U.S. brand in the Top 10, surpassing major restaurant brands such as Domino's, Burger King, and Pizza Hut.

In July 2018, Tim Hortons announced its entry into the Chinese market. Once the news was disclosed, many Chinese fans enthusiastically expressed their expectations on various social media platforms. Over the next five years, we look forward to building more than 2,700 Café+ locations in different scenarios across China, becoming a coffee shop loved by Chinese customers.

Tims China has long-term support from blue-chip shareholders, including Cartesian Capital, the brand owner RBI, Tencent Investment, Sequoia Capital China, and CDH Capital, among its institutional shareholders. In March 2022, Tims China also received a total of $194.5 million in investment commitments related to a SPAC listing from existing shareholders and other well-known institutional investors.

In September 2022, Tims China (Tims Tianhao China) was officially listed on NASDAQ. The raised funds will be used to continue expanding its business and deepen its presence in the domestic coffee market.
