For renovations, there were several points made regarding what will be changing for the better.
First off, there’s going to be brighter, more beautiful restaurants. This means better lighting, design, and improved layouts, which help team members serve guests faster and more accurately. This also includes an improved digital ordering and pick-up system, because we’ve had our fair share of mix-ups as well.
Alongside these, there will be an upgrade to the baked goods showcase. Soon, these showcases will be more beautiful than ever, showing off delicious donuts, cookies, Timbits, muffins, and more. Speaking of the food, there will be upgraded kitchen equipment for key pieces within the restaurant.
Woven into the updated design is the company’s commitment to its Canadian heritage and community connection. Canadiana and our commitment to supporting youth through Tim Hortons Foundation Camps will be clearly evident in these updated restaurants.
“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,” said Axel Schwan, president of Tim Hortons. “These are Canadian families investing their own money in their own communities – and that’s something we’re proud of.”
