Tim Hortons’ Kandahar deployment comes to an end

OAKVILLE, ON, - After five years of serving 2.5 million customers from more than 37 different nationalities, the Tim Hortons outlet at the Canadian Forces operations base in Kandahar, Afghanistan will be closing at the end of this month, as most Canadian troops withdraw from Kandahar. "It has been an absolute privilege and honour for Tim Hortons to be associated with the military and bring a little taste of home to the brave Canadian soldiers serving overseas," said Paul House, Executive Chairman, President and CEO, Tim Hortons. "We are flattered that so many troops from different nations also made Tim Hortons a part of their everyday routine." Since opening on Canada Day in 2006, the Kandahar Tim Hortons served four million cups of coffee, three million donuts and half a million iced cappuccinos and bagels. More than 300 sea containers of Tim Hortons products were shipped over five years to Kandahar from Kingston, ON.
