Tims outside of their coffee (debatable) and bagels is a car wreck of a chain.
Their menu fragmentation is causing all kinds of bottom line problems, not to mention they're all horrific and processed.
In the last couple years, Tims has added:
-New Dark roast coffee (as if existing coffee wasn't acidic enough)
-Meat Lasagna (comes in concentrate)
-Creamy Noodle goop (da fuq)
-Paninis
-Crispy Chicken sandwiches (don't even have deep fryers to make them crispy)
-Hashbrowns (ditto above)
-Iced Lemonades (ice slurry with lemon syrup added at end)
-Smoothies (ice slurry with non-dairy creamer syrups added)
-Latte/Cappucinos (yum powdered milk)
-Snack Wraps
Literally none of those are "good" and are forcing franchisees to carry more and more inventory, more equipment, and more costs overall. It has been run horrifically since its IPO, look at the recent Sr exec turmoil there.
