Tim Hortons, Canada, announced a multi-year plan to expand and modernize its Canadian distribution network as part of a long-term commitment to support restaurant owners and improve the guest experience in restaurants. The plan includes the construction of two new warehouse facilities – one in Alberta and one in British Columbia, Canada, – and the significant expansion of an existing warehouse in Debert, Nova Scotia, Canada.

The investment will improve the distribution network, help streamline overall restaurant operations and is expected to create 150 new jobs once completed.

“We have an exciting agenda of new menu items, renovated restaurants and new advertising programs at Tim Hortons. Today’s announcement is an important infrastructure investment that will support these initiatives, support our restaurant owners and reflects our long-term commitment to building our business and brand in Canada,” says Alex Macedo, president.

The new British Columbia warehouse will service the entire province, while the new Alberta warehouse will handle deliveries in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Debert warehouse will continue to act as the hub for restaurants in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Restaurants in Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador and parts of Quebec will continue to be served by third-party distribution partners.
