Tim Hortons has announced the opening date of its new Oldham drive-thru.

The brand will also award the first customer at the drive-thru and restaurant queue with free drinks for a whole year, worth £3,100.

The lucky winners will be able to get two medium drinks per day for a year, excluding bottled drinks.

Additionally, the Canadian restaurant brand will also give away a free breakfast meal to the first 100 customers on opening day.

Doors will open at the Manchester Road restaurant from 7am on Monday, April 17.

Opening hours for the restaurant will be 6am until midnight seven days a week with dine-in, drive-thru, takeaway, and delivery available.

The menu will feature best-selling items, including ‘Timbits,’ Iced Capps, donuts and crispy chicken sandwiches, as well as savoury food including cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and lattice fries.

The planning application for the branch, located at the former Bridgewater Hotel on Manchester Road, was approved in March 2022.

The restaurant will feature dine-in seating for up to 100 customers, and will be the seventh to open in Greater Manchester.

Kevin Hydes, chief commercial officer of the Tim Hortons franchise in the UK, commented: “It brings me great pleasure to unveil the opening date for our new drive-thru restaurant in Oldham.

“Manchester has always welcomed us with open arms, and we continually receive requests for restaurants even closer to where guests live within the county.

“We look forward to bringing our infamous Canadian brand nearer to loyal customers, as well as offer those new to Tim Hortons, a chance to experience everything we have to offer.”

“The team has dedicated a lot of time and effort in preparation for our launch, and we’re all looking forward to celebrating with the community when doors open on Monday 17th.

“There are a considerable number of prizes and giveaways up for grabs and we’d love to see as many guests as possible at our grand opening.”
