Coffee Wars

The coffee wars are the various marketing moves by coffee shops. In North America, this currently includes Dunkin' Donuts,[1] Starbucks,[1] Second Cup, Tim Hortons, McDonalds,[2] Burger King[2] and more recently McCafé which originated in Australia.

Examples

United States

While the Coffee Wars has traditionally been between Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks, more competitors expanded in the United States recently. There are 745 Tim Hortons locations in the United States, plus McDonald's is opening numerous McCafé locations.

Canada

Dunkin' Donuts only has six retail locations in Canada, all in Greater Montreal. This is because Tim Hortons is the best selling coffee in Canada and Dunkin' couldn't compete outside of Montreal.
