Wednesday, June 6th, 2007, is a special day for Tim Hortons store owners, staff and customers. It’s Camp Day – the one day a year when every penny raised from coffee sales at participating Tim Hortons stores across Canada and the United States, will be donated to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation.
The two milestones come hot on the heels of the opening of the company’s newest outlet at Deira City Centre; the 41st in the UAE and the 7,200th in the worldwide Dunkin’ Donuts chain.
Dunkin’ Donuts General Manager, Mr. David Rodgers, believes that the twin achievements confirm the success of the brand across the UAE; a brand that has become synonymous with high quality coffee and baked goods and sells a range of pastries, donuts and beverages; which include; coolattas, iced lattes and fruit smoothies. ‘Ever since we opened our first restaurant in Dubai in May 1997, we have enjoyed huge success throughout the emirates,’ he says. ‘We’ve found that customers in this part of the world are very discerning and insist on premium quality. All our coffee comes from selected beans, which has meant that we have a justifiable reputation for brewing the highest grade gourmet coffee,’ he adds.

It begs to wonder why a man would go on a quest to drink coffee at every Starbucks shop in the world when he doesn’t even like Starbucks or coffee. A Houston native who goes by the name “Winter” is on a quest to drink at least four ounces of coffee at every one of the 7,200 Starbucks shops on his list.
Winter says he’s not really a big fan of Starbucks, or even coffee. But two years ago, while a documentary was being made about his trek, he said he enjoyed how it kept him on the road. Advertising on his Web site, StarbucksEverywhere.net, helps pay the costs.
