Tim Horton’s opens Boucher branch with big giveaway

Canadian restaurant Tim Horton’s has opened its third premises in Belfast at Boucher Road.

The new unit at Balmoral Plaza Retail Plaza opened its doors at 7am on Tuesday, December 7, with an offer of free drinks for a year worth £3,100 to the first customer in the queue.

Meanwhile, the first 100 customers were treated to a free breakfast meal.

The new restaurant and drive thru opens from 6am to midnight seven days a week, offering bestselling treats like the iconic Tim Horton’s Timbits, Ice Capps, Freshly Baked Donuts and Tims Crispy Chicken Sandwich as well as dinner favourites including beef burgers, hot dogs, and lattice fries.

The company is also running a series of giveaways including free drinks and donuts for those who activate their Tim Hortons’ digital wallet.

A spokesman said the venue was opening in time for those around the Boucher Road area to get their hands on its limited-edition festive menu, including its brand-new Snowball Surprise Deluxe Donut, Christmas Crispy Chicken and back by popular demand, its Rudolph the Reindeer Donut.

“The drinks menu will also delight guests with Orange or White Hot Chocolate, Salted Caramel Latte and Gingerbread Latte all available for a limited time only,” he said.

Kevin Hydes, Chief Commercial Officer of Tim Hortons UK franchise, said they couldn’t wait to open the doors in another part of the vibrant city of Belfast.

“Belfast has a great community that is frequently on the move, and our Boucher Road venue will make our offering more accessible to shoppers, university students, sports fans and those in and around the area,” he said.

“We are well known for our launch giveaways, with people travelling long distances and queuing overnight to claim our top prize and we always look forward to sharing these with our worthy winners.

“With Christmas around the corner, there are bound to be lots of guests in the area and we cannot wait to welcome them down from 7am, throughout the day.”
