Popular Canadian chain, Tim Hortons, has brought a taste of Canada to Singapore with its first café opening in VivoCity. The shop features iconic menu items including signature coffee beverages alongside a diverse selection of sourdough melts and baked goods, including bite-sized donuts known as “Timbits.”
Founded in 1964 by Canadian hockey player Tim Horton, the chain has become an icon of Canadian culture. First opened in Horton’s neighbourhood in Hamilton, Ontario, the aim was “to create a place where the door was always open for neighbours to pop by and warm up over a fresh cup of coffee,” the company said.
Tim Hortons in VivoCity debuted the brand’s new design concept that incorporates “warm tones and organic shapes, drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of the Canadian wilderness and the timeless majesty of old maple trees.”
“Tim Hortons is one of Canada’s most beloved brands and I speak for many Canadians living in Singapore when I say that no words can fully express our excitement that Tim Hortons is finally opening here,” said Jean-Dominique Ieraci, Canadian High Commissioner in Singapore.
“Tim Hortons brings a piece of home, and I cannot wait for the Singapore community to experience the taste and warmth of Canada with their first cup of Tim Hortons® coffee and a bite of Timbits.”
“We are delighted to introduce the Tim Hortons brand in Singapore. We firmly believe that fundamental consumer trends fuel the coffee, food and beverage sector, and we are committed to establishing a lasting and sustainable presence in the region, hand in hand with our valued partners,” added Bharat Sarma, President and Senior Managing Director, Marubeni Growth Capital Asia.
“We know Singaporeans’ love for coffee extends to more than just a caffeine hit. It’s a special occasion. We are confident that Tim Hortons’ signature coffee blends, freshly prepared craveable food and the new warm café design will exceed our guests’ expectations. Singapore is just the beginning; we plan to use this as a launch pad for our expansion into Malaysia and Indonesia in the coming years.” – Vaibhav Punj, Chief Executive Officer, Tim Hortons, MGCA Cafe
Tim Hortons also has locations in the United States, Mexico, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, China, India, Pakistan, Thailand, and the Philippines.
Following the launch at VivoCity, Tim Hortons will also open outlets in Nex, One Raffles Place, and Suntec City in the coming months, the brand said.
