Tim Hortons is awful...it's fast food coffee, owned by Brazilians. But I suppose, because of that, people who enjoy Tims are not going to enjoy Cafe Pyrus or something that is actually good.
While there are overlaps, Timmies, Starbucks, and the independents all serve different demographics, istm. Coffee Culture occupies a middle ground and might feel the competition more than others, if they are still operating at the Walter location.
Coffee Culture and Williams are the two most vulnerable ones, yes. But I think there should still be room for both.
Incidentally, Coffee Culture is coming back: the place was taken apart because they sent all the furniture out to be reupholstered.
