Tim Horton's modus operendi was to find the successful coffee shop in small towns all across Canada, and open up across from them, putting them out of business.

I often wonder why it's so loved by small-town Canadians when it's done us no favours. Especially since it hasn't actually been a Canadian company for 30 years. Side note - on a trip to Corke, Ireland I was taken to a Tim Hortons by my hosts to make me feel at home!
