If you lived Victoria you probably had a wide variety of choices. The
last time I was in Victoria I was in a coffee shop one a street corner
and there were coffee shops on the other three corners of that
intersection and a few more down the street. None of them were Hortons.

I am not saying Horton's is great. Their coffee and their donuts used to
be better. The thing is that they have had competition from a number of
other franchises and the others have not ousted them from their number
one spot. Despite the Krispy Kreme hype, they never managed to even get
away from the starting gate.
