The work will include better light, improved layouts and designs, an updated baked goods showcase, improved digital ordering and pick up and updated kitchen equipment.

“Tim Hortons was built in Canada by Canadians, and we are proud to continue investing in Canada to give our guests beautiful, modern restaurants to enjoy,” states Axel Schwan, President of Tim Hortons, in a release.

“These are Canadian families investing their own money in their own communities – and that’s something we’re proud of.”

The company states local and regional tradespeople will be hired for the work.

It also intends to source renovation and construction materials through Canadian-owned businesses, with most items manufactured on Canadian soil.

The improvements are scheduled to take place this year.

Tim Hortons Launches Digital Contest ‘Roll Up To Win’

, , , , , , , ,

An annual contest for coffee lovers, is going digital.

The tradition of Rolling Up the Rim of a Tim Hortons cup is being retired.

Instead, the contest will be offered digitally this year.

“It became clear to us in the months that followed that the ongoing pandemic was likely to impact Roll Up again this year. As we began evaluating the plan for this year’s contest and making it our most exciting game ever, we focused on two ideas,” said Chief Marketing Officer Hope Bagozzi.

But you will never be asked to Please Play again, instead every roll is a winner.

The contest will now be known as the Roll Up to Win.

Last year was the 35th year of the contest.

Tim Hortons says this is the largest prize pool ever including grand prizes, free coffees and donuts, and new this year, digital prizes like Tims Rewards points and subscriptions to popular streaming services. Details on prizing haven’t been released yet.

‘Roll up to Win’ runs from March 8th to April 4.

Tim Hortons Summer Camps Going Virtual

, ,

The Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation is reimagining its summer camp programming.

The 2020 camps will take place online in light of the COVID-19.

Executive Director Dave Newnham says the eCamps will attempt to continue the same camp experience but also continue the support for the campers emotionally and developmentally as they cope with the pandemic.

Newnham says kids will check-in as part of individual “cabin” groups and will take part in live events, programming, lessons, demonstrations and various other activities.

He hopes to bring kids back to their physical facilities next year.

“We are going to do everything we can to keep the camps in great shape. Right now, given the individual states of emergency, each of the camps are just being maintained and kept closed and has they begin to open back up we are going to follow the public safety guidelines.”
