Report this content

Tim Hortons®, the iconic Canadian coffee chain, has opened their 25th restaurant in the UK on Tuesday 10th December in Cumbernauld, Scotland.  

Boasting an estate of twenty-five restaurants, with seven drive-thrus, the brand ends 2019 on a high note having increased their estate by four in the last year.

Drive-thru restaurants now make up over one fifth of the company’s locations and represents a fast-growing part of the business. The format has proved continuously successful throughout the U.K. and allows increased access for customers to enjoy the Canadian iconic products throughout the day.

A new restaurant in Leicester city centre, the largest in the U.K. with over 150 seats for customers to relax and enjoy, was met with great excitement by the local community. Fans also travelled from London and beyond, keen to visit the new landmark location.

Kevin Hydes, Chief Commercial Officer of Tim Hortons® U.K. & Ireland said: “2019 has seen us grow once again and open restaurants in new communities across the UK. Our drive-thrus in particular have been welcomed with great responses from our customers and continue to grow our business here. We can’t thank our loyal fans and guests enough for their support over the past year and look forward to greeting many more in 2020.”

The Tim Hortons®  brand was founded by its namesake, a top professional ice hockey player, who wanted to create a space where everyone would feel at home. Fast forward to 2019, more than 5.3 million Canadians – approximately 15 per cent of the population – visit the cafés daily.
