Canadians who have missed being able to buy blueberry fritters, cinnamon sugar twists and walnut crunch doughnuts at Tim Hortons are in luck.
The fast-food chain revealed Tuesday that it is reviving the three retro treats and putting them back on the menu alongside the Dutchie 含羞草研究社� the square-shaped, raisin speckled baked good that was one of Tims含羞草研究社� first products.
The quartet will be back for a limited time, starting Jan. 10 across Tims含羞草研究社� Canadian locations.
Their return is meant to help the company usher in its 60th anniversary, which arrives on May 17.
The chain owned by Restaurant Brands International plans to mark the anniversary year with 含羞草研究社渘ods to the past含羞草研究社� but also celebrations of 含羞草研究社渢he Tims of today and the future,含羞草研究社� said Tims含羞草研究社� chief marketing officer Hope Bagozzi.
含羞草研究社淲e wanted to kick off our 60th anniversary year with a bang and we can含羞草研究社檛 wait to reintroduce Canadians to four retro doughnuts that were most popular historically among our guests,含羞草研究社� she said in a press release.
The retro doughnuts are not the only surprise Tims has in store. Bagozzi previously told The Canadian Press the company plans to revive its omelette bites.
The fluffy egg products first appeared on Tims menus in 2019, when the chain was looking to diversify its breakfast offerings with products that were different from its array of sandwiches and had fewer carbohydrates.
The omelette bites will be back on the menu on Jan. 8 and will come in bacon and egg white and spinach varieties.
Customers will also notice sweet chili chicken wraps and bowls 含羞草研究社� part of Tims含羞草研究社� ongoing push to eke out more sales and market share during the afternoon and evening 含羞草研究社� on the menu this year.
Tims含羞草研究社� quest to conquer later dining hours will take considerable effort. The company has long been associated with breakfast and snacks, building its reputation as the brand you turn to for coffee runs or morning treats.
The latest segment of the day faces fierce competition from fast-food mainstays like McDonald含羞草研究社檚, Wendy含羞草研究社檚, Harvey含羞草研究社檚 and a slew of more recent entrants to the Canadian market like Jollibee, Dave含羞草研究社檚 Hot Chicken, Blaze Pizza and Chick-fil-A.
Intensifying the fight for afternoon fast food dollars this year will be Toronto-based private investment firms Osmington Inc. and Harlo Entertainment Inc., which have said they will bring Shake Shack含羞草研究社檚 burgers and hand-spun milkshakes to Canada in 2024. They plan to open 35 locations across the country by 2035.
