Tim Horton

Tim Horton was a Canadian hockey player who founded a chain of coffee-and-donut shops.

The chain, Tim Hortons (no apostrophe), became ubiquitous in Canada and a symbol of Canadian identity.

Canadians often refer to the restaurant simply as Tims or Timmies: Let's grab a double-double at Tims.
