Whenever Iqaluit Mayor Elisapee Sheutiapik returns home from a trip to southern Canada, she brings back a gift for friends and family: a few dozen Timbits.
“I’m not allowed to get off the plane unless I have four dozen Tim Hortons doughnuts,” said Ms. Sheutiapik, who also runs a local coffee shop. “The ladies at Tim Hortons at the Ottawa airport know me well enough that they call me ‘trouble’ because they know that they are going to have to prep four dozen for me.”
The sight of passengers carrying the company’s yellow boxes is common on almost all flights to Iqaluit. But travellers may not have to lug the boxes much longer. Tim Hortons (THI-T28.73-0.24-0.83%)is considering opening an outlet in the Nunavut capital, filling the only gap in its national chain.
