You Can Now Get Burgers At Tim Hortons In Montreal... But Only Beyond Meat Burgers

Tim Hortons has announced they are selling all-new Beyond Meat Burgers, something we noticed being tested in the GTA last month.
Tim Hortons has actually made a host of announcements in the last few months. In June, the fast-food chain launched newBeyond Meat breakfast sandwiches to complement the rest of their breakfast menu.
At the same time, they also announced the new 'omelette bites,' low-carb, calorie-conscious snacks. Oh, and of course, the introduction of new drinks, like the oddly-named Creamy Chills, or the Jolly-Rancher inspired Slushy.
Today, Tim Hortons announced stores across Canada would have a new addition to their food menu: the Beyond Meat burger.
Tim Hortons is following in the footsteps of many restaurants to have added plant-based options to their menu: notably, A&W also serves the vegan burger patty.
For many, it seems like this new addition to the menu is a little off-brand: after all, most people go to Timmies for ice capps, doughnuts, and bagels, not burgers.

So @TimHortons now has a plant-based burger... but all I really wanted was to order a bagel with some vegan cream cheeze.— Cory U (@Cory U) 1563367871.0
This girl understands what's UP. Vegan cream cheese would be DOPE.

Is it just me, or do the new Donut Sticks, Jolly Rancher Slushy and Banana Split Muffin from Tim Hortons scream "Burger King owns me!!!"— Clivane Previlon (@Clivane Previlon) 1563199600.0
The reason for this new menu item, according to the press release is that "the burger patty is prepared in the same way as the Beyond Sausage™ patty for the new breakfast sandwiches."
Mike Hancock, Tim Horton's Chief Operating Officer, says he is "excited to be able to offer our guests a burger for the very first time."
Hanock goes on to state that, "with nearly 4,000 Tim Hortons locations across the country, we are the largest quick-service restaurant in Canada to add the Beyond Burger to our menu and at just $5.69, at one of the most affordable price points as well."
The Beyond Meat burger is available at select Tim Hortons nationwide starting today.
