It's a bit like Safeway or Modern Jelly. They both have (subjectively) better donuts than Tim Hortons, but it's too much of a chore to go to those places.
Tim Horton's seem to thrive partly because they're easy to find and get to. Usually they're no less than one or two turns off a main street.
Though, I would be curious how the particular Tim Horton's that took over the location is doing and if they changed anything to make it more inviting.

The decision for KK to open at Sunridge Mall always seemed odd to me. Makes me wonder what sort of demographic information they had that supported the location over other parts of the city. There were plenty of other areas with higher levels of growth and disposable income.
