Tim Hortons puts competition aside after
action-packed championship soccer game
OAKVILLE, ON, Dec. 12, 2017 /CNW/ - In true, patriot love, Tim
Hortons® is sending a beloved Canadian specialty to Seattle fans following the recent MLS cup loss
to Toronto FC. Don't worry Seattle, you won't receive mountains of maple
syrup or even piles of Poutine. Instead, for one day only, members
of the Seattle community will
receive a free cup of Canada's Favourite Coffee.*
"With the world more divided than ever, we thought this was the
perfect opportunity to put competition aside and extend a cup to
our neighbours to the South," says Sami
Siddiqui, President, Tim Hortons
Canada. "We know the only real win is when we all win, so
we're thrilled to share some love and a taste of Canada with our
friends in Seattle."
Following a public and friendly wager between Toronto and Seattle's Mayors during the recent MLS
championship game, Tim Hortons wants to return the favour in a big
way and extend some Canadian hospitality to the city of
Seattle. Kicking off today, a Tim
Hortons Coffee Truck will start its journey south of the border to
do what Canadians do best, sharing positivity over a cup of Tim
Hortons coffee. The truck will be in Seattle on December
18.

Group/CREST® for the year ending July
2017).
