We don't have any Tim Horton's in Vermont I know of, but used to have a Friendlies in every town. I think there is still one or two left in Vermont but not many. Have eaten many a meal there.
I'm not aware that we ever had a Tim Horton's in Vermont unless they were way up north closer to the Canadian border.
We do have Al’s French Frys I know that for sure. Denny's as well. Five Guys, & yes we have one Friendlies left in Vermont from what i know of.

Yeah I searched and the two closest one is in Quebec the other in upstate NY. But I have bought their ground coffee locally in grocery stores.

I live much further down the East Coast... we had a Friendly's once, but that particular store earned a bad rep over the years until it finally closed. My relatives in southern Maine had a Tim Hortons open and then close a few years later. I'd almost say a Hortons is worth the trip by itself.
The Tim Horton's I have been to in Quebec remind me of Dunkin Donuts. When I was young Dunkin Donuts had a great soup, coffee/hot chocolate, and doughnut meal deal. Used to get it anytime we stopped there.
All I've had is the Tim Horton's coffee & I can say in my opinion it is better than what Dunkin' sells for coffee.

Dunkin rules New England for sure now!
I guess it depends on your taste in coffee. I myself am into Death Wish coffee which is based out of Round Lake, NY at least the manufacturing part of it is. Or Tim Horton's is another that I buy regularly.
Personally I don't care for what most local shops carry as their coffee to grab on the go.

Give me the crunchy coffee at the bottom of the pot. Always yum.
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time. mjulius: That's how I know I'm home. Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager! Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.

That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village! Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.
I very rarely drink coffee, much more of a hot chocolate guy. No real preference for one over the other, more whatever is available at the time as far as DD vs TH.

I can buy Tim Horton's ground coffee almost anywhere i shop here, but that is about it.

I apologize for admittedly dropping the proverbial ball on this idea.
We had a decent start on the planning, but then hit a few snags along the way that thwarted interest.
I was trying to come up with better alternatives, and I am still sorting out a few ideas for doing something much smaller than a normal convention style event.
So if we do try hosting something in the future, it would likely be a private thing.
