It’s true!
- More people visit Tim Hortons in a week than Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in a year
- Approximately 15% of Canadians, that’s more than 5.3 million people, visit Tim Hortons daily
- Tim Hortons serves nearly 2 billion cups of coffee each year
- Tim Hortons has served 100 million cups of Dark Roast blend since its launch in August 2014
Today is National Coffee Day!
To celebrate the millions of cups of coffee that will be enjoyed on National Coffee Day, Tim Hortons asked Canadians how they most often connect with others over coffee.
The majority of people prefer to keep it personal: the top three reasons for getting together for coffee are:
- Catching up with an old friend (57%)
- Spending quality time with a partner or spouse (50%)
- Gossiping with a good friend (38%)
Some other interesting findings:
- Canadian millenials in particular, aged 18 to 34, also say coffee dates hit the mark when it comes to career and work, with almost one-third saying that networking and talking through work issues with a colleague are reasons to meet for coffee
- 29% of Canadians aged 18 to 34 like to meet for coffee on first dates
- Men more than women choose to career network (21% vs. 15%), and talk about work issues over coffee (26% vs 20%)
