The Troy Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors will once again be in their distinctive red blazers this Thursday afternoon for the grand re-opening of the Tim Horton's restaurant on Main Street In Troy. The ribbon cutting ceremony with restaurant owner Ryan Holland will take place at approximately 4:30pm this Thursday in front of the recently remodeled storefront.

Opened in 2004, the restaurant has completed a complete inside and exterior retrofit to transform the traditional Tim Horton's location into a self described experimental "cafe & bake shop", also extending it's offerings to fresh deli sandwiches and more in addition to the standard coffee and doughnuts.

More on Tim Horton's from Wikipedia:

Tim Hortons Inc. is a Canadian coffee shop known for its coffee and doughnuts. It was founded in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario by Canadian hockey player Tim Horton and Jim Charade, after an initial venture in hamburger restaurants.[3][4] In 1967 Horton partnered with investor Ron Joyce, who quickly took over operations after Tim Horton died in a car crash in 1974, and expanded the chain into a multi-million dollar franchise. Jim Charade left the organization in 1966 and briefly returned in 1970 and 1993 through 1996.

Tim Hortons franchises spread rapidly and eventually overtook McDonald's as Canada's largest food service operator. The company opened twice as many Canadian outlets as McDonald's[5] and system-wide sales also surpassed those of McDonald's Canadian operations as of 2002.[6] The chain accounted for 22.6% of all fast food industry revenues in Canada in 2005.[5] Tim Hortons commands 76% of the Canadian market for baked goods (based on the number of customers served) and holds 62% of the Canadian coffee market (compared to Starbucks, in the number two position, at 7%).[7]

As of September 27, 2009, Tim Hortons has 3,527 systemwide restaurants, including 2,971 in Canada and 556 in the United States.[8]

Tim Hortons has an international presence including outlets in the United States, including one opened in Detroit and owned by former NBA player Derrick Coleman and one on a military base outside Kandahar, Afghanistan.[9][10][11] Two more outlets are located in military bases at Fort Knox, Kentucky[12] and Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia.[13] Tim Hortons' other international expansions include a small outlet at the Dublin Zoo. Tim Hortons also made a deal with the SPAR convenience store chain in the UK and Ireland, resulting in Tim Hortons coffee and doughnuts being sold at small self service counters in 50 SPAR stores as of April 30, 2007.[14]
