Tim Hortons opens first Yorkshire drive-through

Tim Hortons recently announced the arrival of its first drive-through restaurant in Yorkshire, choosing Sheffield as the location for its new venue. The brand - which was founded in 1964 by Canadian Ice Hockey player Tim Horton - is famed for its signature coffee, doughnuts and Canadian charm, and plans to open its doors in the summer.

Located at the Crystal Peaks Village Retail Park, the new venue will offer dine-in seating for up to 118 guests and drive-through services for those on the go. Delivery options will also be made available to those in the local area following the launch.

The new restaurant will create over 50 jobs for the local community and will offer a combination of full- and part-time roles. The announcement also forms part of the brand’s plan to create over 2,000 jobs across the country, bringing Tim Hortons restaurants to every major town and city by 2022.

Kevin Hydes, chief commercial officer for Tim Hortons, said: “As we continue our expansion across the UK, we knew it was only a matter of time before we found the perfect location to bring our first drive-through to Yorkshire. We’ve had huge demand to bring the brand to Sheffield and it really excites us to be launching in a city famed for its ice hockey and presence within the Elite League.”
