These upgrades change how you experience your daily visit. The company is focusing on brighter spaces and better layouts. This allows staff to serve you faster and more accurately.

If you order through the mobile app, you will find clearer pickup areas. The kitchens are also getting new equipment to keep your food hot and fresh.

Keeping the Money Local

This $22 million provincial investment creates immediate work for local tradespeople. Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and roofers all benefit from these construction projects.

The materials come from Canadian suppliers. The custom restaurant furniture is handcrafted in Montreal using Canadian maple. Canadian artists design the artwork on the walls.

Axel Schwan is the President of Tim Hortons. He emphasized the community connection in the official release.

“Tim Hortons was built in Canada by Canadians, and we are proud to continue investing in Canada to give our guests beautiful, modern restaurants to enjoy,” Schwan said. “These are Canadian families investing their own money in their own communities and that is something we are proud of.”
