TIM HORTONS has officially dropped<br />

all Beyond-Meat products from its<br />

menu. The announcement was made<br />

in late January — less than a year after<br />

the products debuted on its menu. In<br />

the summer of 2019, Tim Hortons<br />

began rolling out a number of plantbased<br />

menu options across its nearly<br />

4,000 Canadian restaurants, including<br />

the Beyond Meat sausage patty<br />

and Beyond Meat burger patty. A few<br />

months later, the company scaled<br />

back availability of its plant-based<br />

products, offering them exclusively in<br />

its B.C. and Ontario locations. A Tim<br />

Hortons spokesperson indicated the<br />

company may circle back to Beyond<br />

Meat and other plant-based products<br />

in the future, adding “the product<br />

was not embraced by our guests as we<br />

thought it would be.”<br />

COMPETITIVE EDGE<br />

iSTOCK.COM/MAXIMFESENKO [BARTENDAR WITH WINE]<br />

ALCOHOL NB LIQUOR<br />

(ANBL) announced a<br />

new rebate program<br />

for New Brunswick bar<br />

and restaurant licensees,<br />

which will come<br />

into effect April 1, 2020.<br />

“We’re very pleased<br />

to be able to offer this<br />

milestone program<br />

in response to the<br />

hospitality industry’s<br />

long-standing request<br />

for more competitive<br />

beverage-alcohol pricing,” says Patrick Parent, CEO, ANBL. “We value our partnership<br />

with all licensees — they’re significant contributors to the province’s economy with more<br />

than 25,000 related jobs — and we’re very supportive of efforts to help their industry<br />

grow.” The rebate program is part of ANBL’s new three-year plan to become more competitive<br />

with neighbouring jurisdictions. Once in effect, ANBL will offer a five- to 10-percent<br />

rebate on licensees’ wine and spirit purchases and a one-per-cent rebate on certain<br />

categories of beer products and ready-to-drink products. This program was developed<br />

alongside Restaurants Canada and the New Brunswick Restaurant Association (RANB/<br />

ARNB). Further program details will be shared with licensees at a later date.<br />
