Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop celebrates National Coffee Week with $1 any size coffee and free money across select cities

Bakery Cafe Chain is Offering Guests $1 Any Size Coffee, Any Blend from September 22 through 29

DUBLIN, OH, Sept. 22, 2014 /CNW/ - Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop is celebrating National Coffee Week with the launch of any size coffee in Regular or Dark Roast for just $1.*

Whether you favor the Original or new Dark Roast blend, now through September 29, participating U.S. restaurants are encouraging new and loyal fans of the brand to enjoy either (or both) for just $1.

Launched in August, Tim Hortons Dark Roast is a premium blend made from 100% Arabica beans, sourced from the world's most renowned coffee regions. The new blend offers hints of citrus, cocoa and earthy tones with a rounded body. It is carefully roasted to bring out the full, rich flavor and aroma of a dark roast coffee, while ensuring a perfectly smooth finish.

"We are often the first stop in our guests' morning routines and we believe coffee is more than a beverage, it's a ritual," said Mike Meilleur, executive vice president Tim Hortons U.S. "Offering our guests a $1 any size coffee is our way of helping them get the day started off right—all week long."

As part of National Coffee Day celebrations on September 29, Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop will be giving out more than $9,000 in cash and gift cards. Special gold envelopes filled with either a $25 Tim Cards or cash will be hidden across local hotspots in Columbus, Ohio; Buffalo and Rochester, New York; Detroit and Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The brand hopes guests who find a golden envelope will treat themselves first to a $1 coffee and then something else special on National Coffee Day.

Clues of where the golden envelopes are hidden will be released on the brand's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. For clues, follow Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop on Facebook (www.facebook.com/TimHortonsUS), Twitter (@TimHortonsUS) and Instagram (@TimHortonsCafeandBakeShop).
