Tim Hortons, the Canadian coffeehouse and restaurant chain, announced the opening of its 25th store in Punjab, according to a post by a company official on social media. Situated at The Outlet Village in Sangrur, this new highway store signifies Tim Hortons’ sixth presence in the state.
“Hello from Sangrur, Punjab as Tim Hortons India opens its 25th restaurant,” said Ravi Makwana, chief marketing officer at Tim Hortons India in a LinkedIn post.
“Was great to be in the mild winter of Punjab to open the 25th Tim Hortons in India. The love of our customers to the brand keeps increasing with every opening. Big thanks and grateful to the Tims mates working behind the counter day in day out to provide the signature Tim Hortons love and care,” he added.
Tim Hortons marked its entry into the state in January 2023, debuting with its first store at Sarabha Nagar in Ludhiana. The company then continued its expansion with subsequent openings in Mohali, Patiala, Bathinda, and Tehsil.
In August 2022, the cafe chain made its Indian debut by opening two outlets in the National Capital Region (NCR). The brand entered India through an exclusive master franchise agreement with AG Café, a joint venture entity jointly owned by the retail conglomerate Apparel Group and Gateway Partners, an emerging markets alternative investment manager.
At present, the coffee retailer has established its presence in cities such as Bengaluru, New Delhi, Chandigarh, Pune, Gurugram, Noida, Ludhiana, and Mumbai, contributing to the creation of over 500 direct employment opportunities, as mentioned in a previous press release.
Founded in 1964 by Canadian hockey players Tim Horton and Jim Charade, Tim Hortons is a multinational coffeehouse and restaurant chain headquartered in Toronto. Globally, the operations of Tim Hortons are overseen by Restaurant Brands International Inc., boasting a presence in over 5,100 restaurants across 15 countries.
