In a separate deal, Charade licensed Horton’s name to turn Your Do-nut (which briefly was Royal Do-nut) into Tim Horton Do-Nut, the first doughnut store to bear Tim Horton’s name. They opened four restaurants, called Tim Horton Drive-In, in greater Toronto and Port Credit, serving burgers and chicken. In 1963, Charade and Horton formed the company Timanjim Ltd.
Professional hockey players then worked about eight months a year (if they made the playoffs), and pay was such that they usually pursued an off-ice career, with retirement from the game in mind. Horton had a long-standing interest in getting into the restaurant business. The store was two doors from the barber shop where Horton got his signature brush cut. Charade had left his job as manager of a Scarborough, Ontario, doughnut plant to open a store called Your Do-nut in a strip mall at Lawrence and Warden avenues.
In the spring of 1963, Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Tim Horton met businessman Jim Charade.
