> **[Tim Hortons, Burger King agree to merger deal | CBC News](http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/tim-hortons-burger-king-agree-to-merger-deal-1.2746948)** > > Tim Hortons has agreed to be bought by the company that owns Burger King in a deal that could culminate in the world's third largest fast-food company. So Burger King’s 33 yearold CEO and 28 year old CFO and 29 year old head of investor relations are doing a corporate inversion to save Burger King 9% on their tax bill. [LINK](http://money.cnn.com/2014/08/25/investing/burger-king-ceo-age-33/) the net impact to operations? probably very little. i see people complaining that a US company now bought one of our top performers but the truth is that BK is 70% owned by a Brazilian PE firm anyhow. long and the short of it… it’s just a paper transaction that will make people i don’t know super richer than they already were. ---

I would think that BK would sell TH coffee now? BK coffee has always been terrible, so that might help them out… ---

> [@BOBBYGRV](#): > > I would think that BK would sell TH coffee now? BK coffee has always been terrible, so that might help them out… From what I read they will, including the supermarket cans of coffee TH sells. I like both places so I think the merger works unless either TH or BK suffers. ---

yeah that’s a good idea for Tim’s then if they open up a major distribution channel like BK. ---

1. Many BK’s in WNY have closed down over the years. Will this possibly mean the construction of BK/TH combination locations in our area? 2. Always wanted a cheeseburger with my triple cream. Now it could be a reality. Always liked BK burgers over McD’s. ---

The OP location has a Wendy’s and TH in one location, I think on GI too. You might see the same with BK and TH, but a little more integrated. Let’s face it, McDonald’s isn’t going anywhere, despite their troubles lately and BK has been hurting for quite sometime. However, this also has a lot to do with the tax break and the fact that Warren Buffett is financing this whole thing shows that there is money to be made in different ways, to many different people. ---

Bk is the best fast food bullshit IMHO. It’s still garbage though I wonder if any of the fryer guys or burger flippers will see any of that 9% savings. ---

BK ain’t got shit on Five Guys… but 5G isn’t purely fast food i guess… more of a QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) in industry speak. I’ll agree that BK burgers kill Mcd’s but Mcd’s fries are the best in fast food. ---

QSR is the big growth segment… the middle class has tightened their belt but don’t want to eat traditional fast food so it’s the perfect answer… places like chipotle and five guys have the formula down. ---

I prefer BK over McD fries, and I agree 5guys is probably the best “Fast Food” burger in the area.

I just hope this means more Timmy-Ho’s in the US… It’s one of the main things I miss out here in UT… a good fucking cup of coffee! Damn locals don’t believe in “hot” beverages, thus I’m limited to gas-station crap, Starbucks, and Dunkin (Which JUST got here within the past 6 months). ---
