“It is clear that we need to make meaningful changes”, says new Tims China CEO

Slow outlet growth was compounded by sharp declines in key sales metrics during a disappointing second quarter for the RBI joint venture

A little over two months into the job, new Tims China CEO Kwok Wah Cheung will be under no illusions about the difficult task at hand.

Tim Hortons’ master licensee in China reported significant declines in revenues, transactions and average ticket size during the second quarter.

It also continued to close underperforming outlets across its 1,028-store estate, shuttering 13 sites during the three months ended 30 June 2026.
