#33: The Door Handles on a Canadian Coffee Shop
These hockey stick handles adorn Tim Horton’s coffee shop. Tim Hortons was the owner of the first coffee shop, which ultimately evolved into a popular chain. He was a professional hockey defenseman who played in the NHL for 24 seasons. In 1974, Horton died in a car accident. At his death, he and his investors operated about 40 Tim Horton locations.
The hockey sticks on the door are likely to spark a question about why they are there. Tim Horton’s is the largest fast-food chain in Canada. Most people who visit the coffee shop probably don’t know who Tim Horton is, but it doesn’t really matter; they know that hockey is a staple of Canadian culture, and they will surely enjoy this cute design.
