TORONTO – For the first time in its 49-year history, Tim Hortons will offer customers a new blend of coffee.
Starting today at locations in Columbus, Ohio, and on November 4 in London, Ontario, customers will have the choice between Timmies’ Original premium blend and a brand new dark roast.
London has been used as a test market for the coffee company for the past few years and launched the popular Iced Cappuccino.
