Iconic Canadian restaurant brand, Tim Hortons – set to open a drive thru restaurant at TraffordCity.
The announcement follows the opening of its first venue within the city centre at the end of May – and will be its eighth within Greater Manchester. Local fans will be able to get their hands on its famed coffee, delicious donuts and signature Timbits in the Western part of the city, when doors open later this year.
Generating 75 jobs
Located on Barton Dock Road near ASDA and opposite the Trafford Centre, the brand will create another 75 jobs for the local community, on top of the 300 it has already generated since its inception in the city five years ago. Offering a combination of full-time and part-time roles, the restaurant will offer impressive progression and training opportunities to all successful applicants.
The TraffordCity restaurant will span over two floors to offer enough seating for up to 200 guests inside and 40 outside. The venue will also provide a takeaway service for those on the go and delivery options will be made available to those in the local area following the launch.
Breakfast lunch and evening meal options
Well-known already by many in Manchester, customers can expect Canada’s favourite coffee*, freshly baked donuts and Timbits®, as well as delicious breakfast, lunch and evening meal options, including hot sandwiches and wraps.
