Tim Hortons to open in Tops Friendly Markets stores
October 6, 2008
OAKVILLE, Ontario — Tops Friendly Markets and Tim Hortons have announced an agreement to pair either a Tim Hortons full-service restaurant or a self-serve kiosk to 82 Tops full-service supermarkets and Tops Express locations.
The Tim Hortons restaurants in Tops locations will feature premium coffee and other beverages, fresh baked goods and the Breakfast sandwich. Tim Hortons self-serve locations will have freshly ground, one-cup-at-a-time coffee, cappuccino and espresso based drinks and a variety of Tim Hortons baked goods.
Plans include up to 20 full-service restaurants as part of the 82 locations, and 62 self-serve locations, and when opened the new locations will bring the Tim Hortons total restaurant count in the United States to 488, excluding other locations planned for the remainder of 2008. It is expected that several of the self-serve kiosks will be converted over time to full-service locations.
