Coca-Cola Field Now Serving Tim Hortons

March 31, 2009
The Buffalo Bisons, Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets, today announced a new multiyear partnership with Tim Hortons to provide their widely-popular "Always Fresh" coffee to Bisons fans at Coca-Cola Field.

Tim Hortons will now be available in most concession stands, inside Pettibones Grille Restaurant, in the Bisons press box and in the team's luxury suites.

In addition, Tim Hortons will distribute several thousand Buffalo Bisons new logo stickers at their stores on Opening Day, Thursday, April 9 (while supplies last). A "Buster Donut," featuring blue and orange sprinkles on white frosting, will be available at participating Western New York stores starting on April 9.

Tim Hortons will also sponsor the team's nightly Buster Base Race, where a lucky young fan has the opportunity to race Buster Bisons around the infield during an inning break. Tim Hortons will also have signage inside Coca-Cola Field and has co-sponsored the team's annual Family Camp Out, Friday, July 17th after the Bisons game against the Toledo Mud Hens.

"Tim Hortons represents the highest level of quality and freshness. We are very excited to provide this Western New York staple to our fans here at the ballpark," said Robert Free, Director of Foodservice Operations for the Bisons.

"Tim Hortons is proud to be the exclusive coffee of the Buffalo Bisons and Coca-Cola Field. Starting opening day, fans can enjoy a cup of Tim Hortons coffee, iced coffee and everyone's favorite, iced cappuccino," said Jon Maurer, Director of Tim Hortons Regional Marketing.
