Canadian cafe chain brews up in Birmingham
Iconic Canadian café and bake shop chain Tim Hortons is set to arrive in Birmingham.
Located on the corner of New Street and Lower Temple Street, the Birmingham location will be the first Tim Hortons Restaurant to open in the Midlands.
The Tim Hortons brand was founded in 1964 by its namesake, a top professional ice hockey player.
Today, nearly eight out of 10 cups of coffee sold across Canada are served at Tim Hortons restaurants and more than 5.3 million Canadians – approximately 15% of the population – visit the café daily.
The first Tim Hortons in the UK opened its doors in Glasgow in June 2017.
A further 17 restaurants are now serving guests in and around Glasgow, Cardiff, Manchester and Belfast.
Kevin Hydes, chief finance and commercial officer of the Tim Hortons franchise in the U.K. said: “We are thrilled to be bringing our famous brewed coffee, French Vanilla, Donuts, Timbits and freshly-prepared food to the buzzing city of Birmingham.
“Following the success of our recent restaurant openings across the UK, we can’t wait to bring a taste of Canada to the Midlands at our brand new restaurant and welcome new guests to Tim Hortons.”
