[Nfbf-l] Miami, Florida based Burger King is in talks to buy Tim Horton's of Oakville, Ontario.

Dear Friends,
Reading this message, I remember that Burger King was a real great source of 
employment for Blind folks in Miami.
When I first became "Leagaly Blind",  I applied for a Position there, and 
they were going to hire me, but I took another position I had applied for at 
the same time with another company, Humana Health Plans in one of their 
Headquarters offices
Well, just wanted folks to know, even way back in the early 1990's before it 
became popular to do so, they were very fair with hiring Blind People in 
their Corporate Office.
With Best Regards,
God Bless,
Alan

If this happens Burger King is considering moving it's headquarters to
Canada to take advantage of lower corporate tax rates.

Wendy's International was the previous owner from 1995 till 2006 when it
spun off the Canadian coffee giant to be  run as a separate
company,Burger King said it would continue running Tim Horton's as a
separate company as well.

Tim Horton's previous headquarters was in Calgary,Alberta.

There are 49 Tim Horton locations in London,Ontario,Tim Horton's also
says they have plans to open another 500 locations 400 of them in Canada
by the end of 2016.
