I repeat:: but who cares about that? Tim Horton's was founded in Hamilton. It's home office should be in Hamilton.
Tim Horton died in 1968 (four years after the first location), Oakville was still irrelevant then. After Horton's death all the locations were in Hamilton and Ron Joyce didn't need a halfway point anymore after 1968.

The chain's first shop was located it in Hamilton, but that does not necessarily mean it was "founded" there. I don't see why the head office "should" be in Hamilton.
The United States of America was "founded" in Philadelphia, but that is no longer the country's capital city.
Conferences that led up to Canada's Confederation took place in a number of cities, but Ottawa was not one of them.
McMaster University was "founded" in Toronto.
Boeing moved its headquarters from Seattle to Chicago a few years ago.
There is a nice little display case in the Ottawa Street store. I don't think that the company "should" be obligated to set up anything in Hamilton beyond that.
