I think the success of the company comes down to two things:

1) Drive through accessibility and familiarity
2) Pre-Mixed coffee.

Canadians are effing lazy. Not having to add my own cream and sugar (and thus being able to ignore the amount of either) is the icing on the cake for the average canadian.

It always tastes the same, it always arrives the same, and you pretty much have to do nothing to get it.

I don't know anyone that orders Tim Horton's coffee black.

Edit: Between the 20% sugar coffee and the sometimes horrifyingly sweet baked goods, it's not a mystery why some people have a 'tim's habit'. They are addicted to the dose of sugar, and experience withdrawal type symptoms and an associated lack of functioning without it. Combined with the caffeine, it's a powerful mix.
