I wonder what it is - possibly a cafe or store? It seems to be a landmark.

Tim Hortons is akin to being the Dunkin’ Donuts chain in Canada.

Tim Horton's is more than a coffee and doughnut store to Canadians. It's meaning is closer to McDonald's, something that is akin to a national institution. Tim Horton himself was a professional hockey player. On the Canadian version of "Survivor", a box of Timbits (like Dunkin Munchkins) was the prize for one of the contests on the island. It is often affectionately referred to as "Timmy's". That and Canadian Tire (and for some regions Superstore and Zeller's) are hallmarks of Canadian retail commerce.
