Realisticly, there really isn't a "someplace else". Starbucks locations are scarce up here (in Nova Scotia at least), so Tim's is the only place to get your fast food chain coffee fix.

You say this as if it's a bad thing.
jhocking:
Who knows, it could be a certain amount of pride/tradition driving Tim Horton's. It's sort of like how entertaining Superbowl ads are more about media tradition these days than about actual marketing effectiveness.

$1.75 > $3.50 For a coffee
Just Saying!
Bibliophile:
There's heaps of Starbucks here in B.C. I prefer Starbucks because I don't actually like coffee, but Starbucks has fancy drinks and chai tea. But I do go to Timmy's for doughnuts and last roll up the rim to win "season" anytime Jesse and I went for doughnuts I also got a hot smoothie... Simply in an attempt to win something. (No, I didn't win anything.)
Anyway, so that was maybe 4 or 5 drinks I would not have otherwise bought. Imagine the money from people who go every morning on the way to work? Or people who switch to Timmy's just during the roll up season? Some guy even patented a "labour-saving device" for the damned things - http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/news/story.html?id=26046197-4029-4e3d-9c71-37fa27067de0&k=60421
