Franchise Offer: The Franchise Agreement grants franchisees the right to open one of the following three types of retail stores:

1. Standard Shop: A Standard Shop is the typical Tim Hortons store. It produces, merchandises, and sells a variety of baked goods, such as donuts, cookies, muffins, tarts, as well as coffee and other beverages. Most Standard Shops also offer a variety of soups, chili, and sandwiches. The Standard Shop also typically includes a drive-thru facility.
2. Kiosk: The versatility of kiosks allows them to be installed in almost any type of location or area. There are generally three types of kiosks, namely, (i) a built-in kiosk; (ii) a self-serve kiosk; and (iii) a full service cart. Kiosks are generally located within another facility or institution such as retail stores, universities, gas stations, hospitals or airports. The built-in kiosk is designed to accommodate any product format but is best suited for a full menu line, including coffee, baked goods, soups, sandwiches, and chili. The self-serve kiosk is typically located within grocery stores and gas stations, offers coffee and a limited selection of baked goods, and occupies approximately six feet of counter space. The full service cart is modular and can be modified to suit the size, location and consumer demand of its location. It can accommodate one or more coffee stations, a full baked goods line, and/or a soup/sandwich/chili station. In certain limited circumstances, kiosk owners may be required to supply kiosks with all necessary products or make arrangements to obtain their goods from a local franchisee.
