Wendy’s will be spinning off Timmy Ho’s… IPO announced. Make some money, foo.

Goldman Sachs and RBC Capital Markets are managing the deal. > > In July, Wendy’s responded to shareholder pressure by agreeing to spin off Tim Hortons, whose steady growth has outpaced sluggish sales at the company’s U.S.-based chain of burger joints. > > Tim Hortons is planning to list its stock on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange as “THI.” > > Wendy’s said Thursday that the IPO is still set for March. While Wendy’s is only selling 15 percent to 18 percent of Tim Hortons in the IPO, it plans to spin off the chain entirely within two years. > > Tim Hortons operates about 2,800 coffee and doughnut shops throughout Canada and the United States, with systemwide sales growing at an annual rate of more than 18 percent over the last decade.

Timmy Hoes offers more suff than KK such as soup and sandwiches also. This variety will make a large differance also. ---

Word son… On a regular basis, Tim’s gets blown away by Tops and Weggies on the pastries… Apple fritters used to be badass at Tims but now they suck. Their donuts are terrible now too. ---

Their donuts are terrible now too. I noticed the donut thing too… come to find out that they are no longer making them on site… they are shipped in frozen and then heated / made “fresh”. I miss my cherrystick donuts… anyhow, Wegmans & Tops & Martin’s are not competitors here… whole different breed of store. That’s like comparing Pepboys to Quick Lube. ---
