Tim’s adding free Wi-Fi

TORONTO—Double-double addicts soon will have another reason to stop into one of the thousands of Tim Hortons (outlets across the country.
The coffee-and-doughnut chain announced today it is working to roll out free wireless Internet to more than 2,000 locations.

It expects 90 percent of its so-called “traditional” outlets across Canada will offer free Wi-Fi by September.
The plan does not include its non-traditional outlets, including kiosks, gas stations, and hospital locations.
The service is being provided through a partnership with Bell.
Tim Hortons joins other chains such as McDonald’s, Second Cup, and Starbucks that already offer free Wi-Fi access at many of its locations.
