Tim Hortons had trouble expanding in some areas in the United States because of the competition with the U.S.A companies Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks and McDonalds; however, it did expand well in places near the Canadian border. Burger King expanded in France by cooperating with other local companies that knows the market: Groupe Olivier Bertrand, along with private equity firm Naxicap Partners. Mr. Joshua Kobza, the chief financial officer of Restaurants Brands International (Tim Hortons and Burger King) said, “It’s not an obvious place that we would do very well”.
