Tim Hortons reveals plans for 40 more restaurants in 2023
The Canadian QSR brand will open its 50th drive-thru in Watford on 28 November and plans to open four further drive-thrus before the end of 2022. Its current estate of UK restaurants is 65.
Tim Hortons, which has more than 4,700 system-wide restaurants across Canada, the US, and other countries, will open restaurants in Liverpool, Swansea, and Dundee in the first quarter of next year.
“Our 50th drive-thru restaurant is a landmark opening for us as doubling our number of drive-thrus is not only a key milestone in our strong and fast-paced pipeline of openings this year, but it also supports our ambitious plan to grow at an even faster pace in 2023 with 40 new restaurants targeted," says Kevin Hydes, chief commercial officer of the Tim Hortons franchise in the UK.
“We have planned our site acquisition strategy carefully to ensure that we are securing as many drive-thru sites as we can in order to meet the growing customer demand for the additional convenience that they provide. We only see this demand growing, with people being time poor and seeking high quality, great value food & beverages at all times of day served at speed.
"We are proving to be a real contender within the coffee & QSR sector and have ambitions to become the preferred brand of choice, no matter what occasion our guests are seeking to enjoy.”
