Ongoing stay-at-home orders in Canada are continuing to dampen sales at Tim Hortons, with the impact on morning coffee routines the single largest drag on the chain's sales, the head of the restaurant's parent company said Friday.
"There's no doubt that the biggest factor affecting our performance at Tims is a continued lockdown of a large majority of the country," Jose Cil, chief executive of Restaurant Brands International Inc., told analysts on a conference call to discuss the company's latest results.
