Part coffee-and-doughnut joint, part sub shop, Tim's is confining its U.S. growth to the Northeast and Midwest, close to its base of operations in Ontario and with just enough stormy weather to keep management smiling. "It's no secret that coffee sales are better when it's cold and miserable," says Chris Laganos, who heads U.S. operations.
