In March 2010, Tim Hortons announced further expansion on both sides of the Canada–US border to be completed by 2013. The plan called for 600 new stores in Canada (primarily in Quebec and Western Canada but also including smaller communities) and 300 new stores in the U.S. (primarily in its existing markets of Michigan, New York, and Ohio). It also called for expansion into such non-standard store locations as hospitals, universities, and airports, as well as extending its co-branding initiative with U.S. ice cream chain [[Cold Stone Creamery]], which began in 2009, to cover 60 Canadian stores and 25 to 35 new and existing U.S. stores. It also included testing a new café/bake shop concept in at least 10 existing U.S. locations, including "enhanced finishes, fixtures, and seating areas" as well as an expansion of menu offerings.<ref>{{Cite press release | url = http://www.timhortons.com/ca/en/about/news.html?c=195616&p=irol-news&nyo=0 | title = More than a Great Brand.

In 2010, Tim Hortons opened what were then its northernmost locations: three kiosks at [[NorthMart]] stores in [[Iqaluit|Iqaluit, Nunavut]].

====United States====
Initially, the U.S. stores were the result of natural expansion in Canada–U.S. border areas (e.g., stores in [[Maine]] and the [[Buffalo, New York]] area where Horton played from 1972 to 1974 as a member of the [[Buffalo Sabres]]). The first United States locations were opened in [[Deerfield Beach, Florida]] and [[Pompano Beach, Florida]] in 1981, but they proved unsuccessful and were closed.<ref>{{cite book|last=Mullins|first=Paul R.|title=Glazed America: a history of the doughnut|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HtHgAAAAMAAJ&q=%22that+would+in+turn+spread+the+word+about+hortons%22|year=2008|page=115|publisher=University Press of Florida |isbn=9780813032382}}</ref>
[[File:Tim Horton's (8063137516).jpg|thumb|A Tim Hortons in Maine. The company's expansion into the U.S. began in bordering U.S. states.]]
In 1984, the chain returned to the U.S. with a location in [[Tonawanda, New York]].<ref name="sales2008" /> Starting in the mid-1990s, however, the chain began expanding in the U.S. by acquiring former locations from fast-food chains. In 1996 and 1997, thirty-seven former [[Rax Roast Beef|Rax]] locations in [[Ohio]], [[Kentucky]], and [[West Virginia]] were bought by Wendy's International Inc.; 30 of these were converted to Tim Hortons, while the others became Wendy's franchise locations. Thirty-five closed [[Hardee's]] stores in the Detroit area were also purchased with the intention of being converted.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_n43_v30/ai_18851071 |title=Wendy's buys 37 Rax units, plans Tim Hortons makeover |access-date=December 8, 2009 |date=November 4, 1996 |work=Nation's Restaurant News}}</ref> By 2004, the chain had also acquired 42 [[Bess Eaton]] coffee and donut restaurants in southern New England. Several combination Wendy's/Tim Hortons units were opened in the US; both in the "traditional" markets of Maine and Buffalo, where there were well over 180 locations as of 2011,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://m.bizjournals.com/buffalo/print-edition/2011/01/21/tim-hortons-keeps-expanding-in-wny.html?page=all&r=full |title=Tim Hortons keeps expanding in WNY |newspaper=Buffalo Business First |date=January 21, 2011 }}</ref> and in the markets entered through acquisition.

In October 2008, Tim Hortons announced a plan to add 82 locations in [[Tops Friendly Markets|Tops Markets]] stores in the United States.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2008-10-08 |title=Tops, Tim Hortons Announce Exclusive Agreement |url=https://www.supermarketnews.com/latest-news/tops-tim-hortons-announce-exclusive-agreement |access-date=2023-12-21 |website=Supermarket News |language=en}}</ref>

On July 13, 2009, Tim Hortons opened stores in [[New York City]] at former [[Dunkin' Donuts]] locations operated by [[the Riese Organization]]. One of the stores is at [[Madison Square Garden]], where Horton played as a member of the [[New York Rangers]] from 1969 to 1971.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/13/the-donut-wars-begin/ | title = The Doughnut Wars Begin | work=City Room | date = July 13, 2009 | first = Libby | last = Nelson}}</ref> In November 2010, Tim Hortons announced it was closing 36 stores in the northeastern United States due to high competition with New England–based Dunkin' Donuts and [[Au Bon Pain]]. The stores, which made less than half the average company per-store sales, were concentrated heavily in the areas around [[Providence, Rhode Island]] and [[Hartford, Connecticut]], the former of which also has a concentration of stores from the locally competing [[Honey Dew Donuts]] chain, with some 150 outlets in Rhode Island and [[Southeastern Massachusetts]]. In the announcement, the chain stated that it will concentrate its efforts on its core markets such as western Canada. In the same statement, the company announced the sale of its portion of distribution company Maidstone Bakeries to Tim Hortons' European partners. It will use the {{CAD|400&nbsp;million}} generated by the sale for a [[share repurchase|stock buyback]].<ref name="Reuters-Mukhopadhyay">{{cite news |last=Mukhopadhyay |first=Bhaswati |title=Tim Hortons profit climbs; to close 36 U.S. stores |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN1022471120101111 |access-date=November 16, 2010 |date=November 11, 2010 |work=Reuters}}</ref>

In 2010, Tim Hortons opened two kiosks at [[Consol Energy Center]] (now known as PPG Paints Arena) in Pittsburgh, partly as a test to eventual expansion into Pittsburgh (their closest locations at that point were in the Wheeling, West Virginia/Steubenville, Ohio area) as well as [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] star [[Sidney Crosby]] having a longtime sponsorship with the chain as well. In addition, Horton played for the Maple Leafs [[American Hockey League]] affiliate, the [[Pittsburgh Hornets]], earlier in his career as well as the [[Pittsburgh Penguins|Penguins]] for one season in 1971 to 1972.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://triblive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/business/s_699690.html |title=Tim Hortons makes its way to town |publisher=TribLIVE |date=September 16, 2010 |access-date=March 3, 2013}}</ref> [[Aramark]], which operated the kiosks, closed them in 2012, however Tim Hortons proceeded to open full-service locations in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas in July 2012. At the time of the entry into Pittsburgh, of the four NHL cities Horton played in (Buffalo, New York City, Toronto, and Pittsburgh), Pittsburgh was the only one without a Tim Hortons location, and was also where Horton met his future wife, Lori.

In 2011, Tim Hortons aggressively expanded into the [[Grand Rapids, Michigan]] region.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mlive.com/business/west-michigan/2011/10/tim_hortons_coffee_doughnut_sh.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140619214826/http://www.mlive.com/business/west-michigan/index.ssf/2011/10/tim_hortons_coffee_doughnut_sh.html|url-status=dead|title=Tim Hortons coffee, doughnut shop prepares to open several more West Michigan locations|first=Ron|last=Cammel|date=October 12, 2011|archive-date=June 19, 2014|website=mlive}}</ref>

In 2012, Tim Hortons began advertising in the [[Youngstown, Ohio]], area in anticipation of an eventual expansion into the [[Mahoning Valley]]. The closest location at the time was in [[Calcutta, Ohio]], about 50 miles south of Youngstown. The chain entered the area in July 2012 with the opening of a location in Hermitage, Pennsylvania.<ref name="Vindy.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.vindy.com/news/2012/jun/26/tim-hortons-looks-to-expand-in-valley/ |title=Youngstown News, Tim Hortons looks to expand in Valley |publisher=Vindy.com |date=June 26, 2012 |access-date=March 3, 2013 |archive-date=June 15, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130615120729/http://www.vindy.com/news/2012/jun/26/tim-hortons-looks-to-expand-in-valley/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> This location has since closed, but Tim Hortons would return to the market in the spring of 2019 with the opening of two locations, one in Youngstown and one in Girard, Ohio,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wfmj.com/story/39982976/tim-hortons-announces-several-mahoning-valley-locations |title=Tim Hortons announces several Mahoning Valley locations |publisher=[[WFMJ-TV]] |date=February 18, 2019 |access-date=August 27, 2019}}</ref> though both would suddenly close within weeks of each other by the end of the year.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wfmj.com/story/41403378/tim-hortons-closes-in-girard|title=Tim Hortons closes in Girard|website=www.wfmj.com}}</ref>
