“It’s like Mad Men around here.”
Even though Tim Hortons never had a chance to work with Don Draper, they’ve done quite well in the last 50 years. According to Marketel, Tim Hortons is Canadian women’s favourite brand and it ranks high on my list too.
To celebrate its 50th birthday, Tim Hortons threw a huge bash at Yonge & Dundas Square today. Actors wearing vintage garments created a vibrant scene set in the 60s, featuring parents with a baby carriage and a police officer who was delighted to put people in his black and white cop car. They put on quite a show and a caffeinated audience ‘ate it up,’ as my grandmother likes to say.
With a performance by Nikki Yanofsky and special appearances from Toronto Maple Leafs alumni, the event was quite a fête, not to mention an awesome way to spend Throwback Thursday.
40% of voters in the Bring It Back campaign declared their love for eclairs, so nostalgic Tim Hortons fans can rejoice. Eclairs will be available for a limited time only, so follow Tim Hortons’ social media channels (Facebook / Twitter / Instagram) and stay tuned for the announcement!
