Tim Hortons to open in Manchester Arndale

Manchester Arndale has announced that international fast-food chain Tim Hortons will be moving into a 1,921 sq ft unit on Market Street in April.

Founded by National Hockey League player, Tim Horton, in 1964, the Canadian-based outlet expanded into the UK in 2017 and has grown to 50 restaurants located across the country.

The new Tim Hortons restaurants will be open round the clock from 6am until midnight, seven days a week. The menu will feature best-selling items, including Timbits, Iced Capps, Freshly Baked Donuts, Tims Crispy Chicken Sandwich, beef burgers and hot dogs.

Colin Flinn, spokesperson for Manchester Arndale, said: “Our goal is to create a diverse tenant line-up for Manchester Arndale, and this letting to Tim Hortons has helped us to increase the mix of F&B outlets and strengthen our position as a premier destination in the North West.

“We continue to be excited by how many people are returning to Manchester Arndale and have been delighted to announce a series of strong new openings with a range of popular aspirational and innovative brands. We look forward to sharing more positive news over the coming months as we continue to widen our occupier base.”

Kevin Hydes, chief commercial offices of Tim Hortons, added: “Having first opened our Manchester restaurants over four years ago, we’ve been very keen to bring our brand in to the heart of the city.

“Our fans have been equally supportive of this venture! With a strong focus on quality, great value options, we feel our restaurant works perfectly in this buzzling area. We can’t wait to welcome our fans, and new guests alike.”
