Tim Hortons sales stumble following temporary foreign worker controversy
Canadian same-store sales slip as coffee giant faces fallout over its use of temporary foreign workers and pledges to hire 10,000 Canadians.
Tim Hortons’ Canadian sales are slipping after a temporary foreign worker controversy put the iconic coffee chain in the hot seat.
As reported by CityNews, Canadian same-store sales slipped 0.1 per cent, down from 3.6 per cent growth last year, while system-wide growth fell to 0.4 per cent.
The slowdown follows scrutiny over Tim Hortons’ use of temporary foreign workers, though parent company Restaurant Brands International (RBI) did not blame the controversy.
