Canadian restaurant chain plans to open branch in Berkshire
'Tim Horton' is coming to Newbury
A new diner café is on its way to opening its first location in Berkshire soon.
The Canadian restaurant chain Tim Hortons was launched by the famous hockey player in 1964 and has become known for its breakfasts, sweet treats and burgers ever since.
Tim Hortons already has a sizeable presence in the UK, with a total of 78 locations.
And the chain is on its way towards opening a 79th diner and drive-thru at Newbury Retail Park.
A property company won permission to transform the former Pizza Hut building at the retail park in Pinchington Lane into a Tim Hortons diner and drive-thru in January last year.
The transformation project involves a significant upwards extension, modifications and new branding to be fitted to the exterior of the current building.
Shortly after approval was granted, the applicant F and C Commercial Property Holdings Ltd made changes to the layout of the drive-thru.
The applicant changed the order point island and made the drive-thru layout wider.
These changes were approved by West Berkshire Council’s planning department on May 23 last year.
The site for the development is located at Sandleford Park east of the A339, the road that runs between Basingstoke, Newbury and the A34.
Tim Hortons will be located within the retail park which is in southern Newbury and features a number of big clothing and food stores.
We asked Tim Hortons for a statement on the project earlier this month but no response has been received so far.
