The hype around the grand European opening of Tim Hortons in Glasgow has yet to die down, despite being open for almost a month.
This morning, the Canadian coffee chain announced its customers can their hands on limited edition Canada Day donuts throughout July. The downside for Tim Hortons lovers? They’re only available exclusively at the Glasgow store.

As Europe continues to look at Glasgow with envious eyes, it’s Londoners who seem to have taken the hump with the announcement.
Last week, the coffee shop announced a massive day-long Canada Day celebration in Trafalgar Square which will see a massive food and drinks truck selling its world-famous products.

However, unlike we Glaswegians, London will only be getting to try Timbits and regular Tim Hortons coffee which has left a sour taste in some social media users’ mouths.
Unfortunately, not! We'll have plenty of Timbits however 🙂

Canada Day falls on July 1 every year and commemorates the day the country was officially born when the Constitution Act joined three provinces into a single nation.
This year, though, the celebration is extra special as the day marks 150 years since the North American country came to be.
It was all cheers and applause at the Four Corners on the morning of June 2 as the chain finally opened up to the public after months of teasing and speculation.
Hundreds of people rushed down to the location at the corner of streets Union and Argyle as the first store in Europe welcomed Glaswegians with open arms and loads of prizes.
Crowds had even camped out overnight in the hopes they would be among the first to taste Tim Hortons’ famous Double Double coffee and Timbits when the ribbon was cut just after 9am.
