I'm not at all bothered by the fact that the Tim Hortons HQ is in Oakville, considering the fact that it's target audience is automobile users. I'm sure if it was in Hamilton it would just be somewhere on the East mountain or Ancaster like the coffee plant they are building here. No different than being in Oakville.

At the time TH put their head office in Oakville, it was considered a suburb of both Hamilton and Toronto. The biggest selling newspaper in Oakville up until the mid eighties was The Hamilton Spectator.
