Tim Hortons, the iconic Canadian coffee and quick-service chain, is expanding its Austin footprint. According to public filings, the brand plans to open at 8756 Research Blvd., Suite A, with construction completion targeted for January 2027.
What Now Austin reached out to franchisee Mehtaab Brar to inquire about the opening timeline but did not receive a response prior to publication.
Tim Hortons has built its reputation on its Original Blend coffee, brewed fresh every 20 minutes, along with hand-dipped and glazed donuts, Timbits, and made-to-order breakfast sandwiches with freshly cracked eggs. Its menu has since expanded to include cold brew, iced coffee, Iced Capps, specialty lattes, paninis, and wraps.
In previous contact with What Now Austin, Brar highlighted how he made regular trips to Toronto with his family to visit relatives, and Tim Hortons became a family tradition during those visits. When he learned the brand was expanding into the U.S., he saw an opportunity to bring a piece of his mother’s Canadian heritage to Austin.
Founded in Canada in 1964, Tim Hortons has grown to more than 4,900 locations internationally, with U.S. growth historically concentrated in New York, Michigan, and Ohio before the brand expanded into Texas and Florida in recent years.
What Now Austin has previously covered Tim Hortons’ growing Central Texas presence, including a new Leander location currently in the works.
