With the current population of 35 million, there is one Tim Hortons coffee shop for roughly every 10,000 Canadians.
The current population of the United States is 316 million, which means there is one Starbucks for roughly every 28,000 Americans.
Who woulda thunk?
And now, for a little history!

It was in 1984 that Tim Hortons opened its first U. S. restaurant in Tonawanda, N. Y. Since then, Timmie’s (as it is lovingly referred to in Canada) has made a push for major expansion into the U.S., with 804 locations in Indiana, Maryland, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia–and many more to come! And, by the way, for you Canadian snowbirds vacationing in Florida, you can now get your Timmie’s fix in Tampa Bay!
Way back in 1987, the first Starbucks opened at the Seabus Skytrain Station in Vancouver. But, it wasn’t until 1996 that Starbucks began its Canadian expansion, when it opened five new locations in Toronto, Ontario–all on the same day! As of July 2013, there were 1,228 Starbuck’s locations in Canada, from Victoria, British Columbia to Toronto, Ontario; from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to its most northerly coffeehouse in Whitehorse, Yukon.
