Ottawa looks into complaints by Tim Hortons franchisees: Reuters
The Canadian government is looking into complaints that Restaurant Brands International Inc is not meeting the terms set out by Ottawa when it allowed the takeover of coffee and doughnut chain Tim Hortons, Reuters reported. Lawyers representing Tim Hortons franchisees sent a letter to Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains this month alleging the company has not lived up to commitments including maintaining the rent and royalty structure of Canadian franchises. Restaurant Brands was formed in 2014 when 3G Capital-backed Burger King acquired Tim Hortons for $12.6 billion.
