Tim Hortons is Canada’s best-known coffee-and-baked-goods quick-service restaurant brand. Founded in 1964, the chain grew from a single location in Ontario into a large North American network with international expansion through franchise partners.
Today, Tim Hortons is part of Restaurant Brands International (RBI), which also owns Burger King, Popeyes, and Firehouse Subs. Because Tim Hortons is reported inside RBI’s public disclosures, the most reliable way to track Tim Hortons scale is through restaurant counts and system-wide sales published by RBI.
Answer box: Tim Hortons ended 2025 with 4,586 restaurants in Canada + the U.S. (RBI’s Tim Hortons “TH segment”) and generated $7.573B in TH segment system-wide sales in 2025. For global context, RBI’s 2024 annual report lists 6,043 Tim Hortons restaurants worldwide in 2024 and $8.105B in global Tim Hortons system-wide sales in 2024.

Key metrics table (latest available)
Important: RBI reports Tim Hortons in multiple ways. “TH segment” generally reflects Tim Hortons in Canada and the U.S., while international Tim Hortons units are included within RBI’s “INTL” segment. This table labels metrics clearly so you can compare like-for-like.

What these metrics mean
1) “System-wide sales” is the best “annual sales” metric for franchised brands
Most Tim Hortons restaurants are franchised. That means RBI’s reported “system-wide sales” reflects what the entire Tim Hortons system sold at restaurants (not what RBI recognizes as corporate revenue). It’s the cleanest way to compare brand scale year over year.
2) Store count is split by geography in RBI reporting
RBI’s TH segment reflects Tim Hortons in Canada and the U.S., while international Tim Hortons restaurants are typically included in RBI’s INTL segment reporting. That’s why you may see two different “restaurant count” numbers depending on whether a source is quoting North America only or global totals.
3) Growth in 2025 was steady, not explosive
For the TH segment (Canada + U.S.), system-wide sales grew to $7.573B in 2025 from $7.479B in 2024, and the restaurant count increased to 4,586 from 4,539.
