Tim Hortons unveils expansion plans for 2023

The Canadian coffee brand plans to have 40 more stores across the UK.

Tim Hortons is planning to double its drive-thru estate across the UK, with 40 more sites planned.

The company recently opened its 50th drive-thru in Watford. Tim Hortons currently operates 65 restaurants across the country.

“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. 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 and beverages at all times of day served at speed,” Kevin Hydes, Chief Commercial Officer at Tim Hortons UK said.

The Canadian coffee chain first entered the UK market in 2017.
