Various Tim Hortons locations in select markets have "slightly" increased prices for some breakfast menu items, the coffee shop giant has confirmed. However, Tim Hortons said the new price hikes aren't connected to the minimum wage increase. "Regular adjustments to menu prices are a normal part of the restaurant business," said a spokesperson in an email to CBC News. He said when Tim Hortons raises prices, it typically applies to a large region such as an entire province. Despite the close timing, Tim Hortons says the latest price hikes have nothing to do with the dispute with franchise owners.
