UK presence bolstered
Having spent the last 18 months successfully growing its drive-thru portfolio in key towns and cities, it will now open its first London site at Park Royal, later in 2022. With its ambitious plans to grow the brand across the UK while bringing its Canadian charm to as many guests as possible, its 4209sq. ft. site will offer a dine in and drive-thru service as well as delivery options at the new site.
Kevin Hydes, Chief Commercial Officer at Tim Hortons® in the UK commented “Surpassing the 50-location milestone has been a testament to the team and the hard work injected to build sustainable success since inception into the UK in 2017. Despite challenging times for the sector, our model has continued to prove its success and we are confident now is the right time to open in the capital and announce our updated growth strategy.
“Our plan is to continue growing the Tim Hortons® estate, both in London and nationwide, and along with this, we will likely trial new concepts to meet the needs of our ever-growing fanbase. We consider ourselves a real contender within the QSR sector and have ambitions to become the preferred brand of choice, no matter what occasion our guests are seeking to enjoy.
“We have a dedicated acquisition and construction team with us supporting our ambitious growth plan and we will be continuing to actively look for leasehold and freehold opportunities across the UK & Ireland.”
