Canadians might soon be able to buy some Tim Horton’s stock along with our medium double-double. Recent reports suggest that Wendy’s is under pressure to spin-off its Tim Horton’s unit to realise shareholder value. Tim Horton’s, which operates around 2700 coffee and doughnut shops across Canada, accounts for less than a third of Wendy’s sales but more than half of its profits. The chain is just starting to expand into the US (and all my American friends love the coffee when they are here) and a spin-off would allow us the opportunity to buy a growth story and a national icon.
