I guess only Canadians/investors would be interested? IMO, how much more can they keep expanding(in Canada)? It seems in Ontario there's a Timmy's on each corner. In the USA, there's little to no interest because the service is not the same from what I hear.

Its amazing how much money a company can make that sells $0.80 doughnuts and $1 cups of coffee.

with it being an IPO, i usually wait til after the lock-up period to see how many of the initial investers stick around and if the stock stays stable.

while i love and miss Tim Horton's donuts, i think @ 28.17 is a very steep entry point. until THI starts marketing like it can be a direct competor to Starbucks, i wouldn't feel comfortable buying in @ more than $18/share.

Disclaimer: These are just my oninions and should not be used as investments tips (and yes, i know Starbucks is not a donut shop, but i think THI will expand more to follow the success of Starbucks)

Actually the opposite is true. The main reason behind going public was due to there venture into the states and plans to go big there. If it was still a canadian only venture it may not have at all.
