Yes, Tims' now serving glazed doughnuts featuring stegosauruses assaulting army men.
i feel that the post-raptor rapture world is a much better place then the one before it.
from what i understand, they had kids come in and garnish some doughnuts or something.
Excellent news.
Yeah, I'd say we're looking up now, instead of down a deep spiraling downward abyss.
from a quick look at their site they have US locations in Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
Tim's is the defacto Canadian coffee of choice. they have a few franchises in the states to my knowledge, but it's primarily a canadian tradition.

And Kandahar, Afghanistan.
others use warfare.
Canada uses the 'ol Double-Double.
some countries use politics to change their neighbours.

And I am proud of it!
Also, the coffee of choice in the North Eastern US is Dunkin' Donuts.
There are currently only two major donut/coffee chains in the Northeastern US - Dunk's and Tim's...
Tim's swallowed up the Bess Eaton Donuts chain when they went bankrupt, therefore allowing them to begin their slow assimilation of the Northeast.
(On an only tangentially-related note, my old Rocky Horror cast met the Dunkin Donuts Guy on several occasions - he was often seen at a local 4th of July parade - and had their picture taken with him. In fact, the local callback lines for when everyone turns to jump into the pool were "I smell Tollhouse Cookies!..." followed by "Time to make the donuts..." )
Krispy Kreme is here (in fact, there's one in the local casino), but has nowhere near the presence of the other two...
The northeast doesn't get Krsipy Kreme? How sad for the northeast.
Call me crazy, but if the creme in the donut is crispy I want nothing to do with it.
Call me crazy
Can do, Mr. Crazy person!
Even without the gummie candies, that is one of the nastiest looking donuts I've ever seen.
+1
Also, Krispy Kreme makes some damned fine dougnuts. Can't speak to whether the creme is actually crispy or not, though, as I'm a strict glazed only kind of guy. All that other nonsense is for silly fancypantses.

One recently opened across the street from my house. It's a combination Tim Horton's/Cold Stone Creamery. The lady next door to it isn't happy about having a 24-hour restaurant there, but it was already a business before that (well, immediately before it was an empty business, which she didn't mind, but it was a different business before that, a Firestone).
There's also one near my sister's college, about 1 1/2 hours away. That one's a combination Tim Horton's/Wendy's, although it's more like two restaurants in one building.
Most of 'em I've seen share space with another restaurant, but there is one near here that's just a Tim Horton's, too.
then again, they serve a different clientele so putting 2 different places together coffee shop + restaurant and coffee shop + ice cream place makes sense. i could see putting restaurant + ice cream place causing issues where they steal each other's business (since Wendy's also serves ice creamish products).
The thing about Krispy Kreme is that they're kind of high-end for a donut shop, and not everybody is interested in buying into the brand name - the donuts aren't sufficiently "all that" compared to other chains (which are also generally noticeably less expensive) to stand on their own at that price if you stuffed them into a generic box without the KK label on it...
Especially the raspberry jelly donuts.
So bad for me, but oh so good to eat.
