27 Apr Canadian fast food chain Tim Hortons to open first London restaurant

Canadian fast food chain Tim Hortons has revealed it will open its first London restaurant at Park Royal.

The 4,209 sq ft site will offer dine-in, drive-thru, and delivery options for customers and bring the brand’s “Canadian charm” to the capital.

Kevin Hydes, chief commercial officer at Tim Hortons UK, said: “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. We are delighted to finally be bringing a restaurant to London, in what will be the first of many, with plenty more exciting openings in the pipeline for 2022 and beyond.”
