Etymology

The business was founded by Tim Horton (1930–1974), a Canadian hockey player. The chain's first store opened on May 17, 1964, in Hamilton, Ontario, under the name “Tim Horton Donuts”; the name was later abbreviated to “Tim Horton's” and then, in 1993, changed to “Tim Hortons” without the possessive apostrophe, to better fit the French-speaking market in Québec.
