The coffee chain retailer is leading an aggressive expansion plan across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain and Oman.
Tim Hortons Middle East entered the GCC in 2011 and has since become the leading Tim Hortons franchise outside of its home market of North America. The brand currently operates 148 stores across the GCC and is leading an aggressive expansion of its footprint across the region.
The coffee chain has plans to open 42 new stores across Saudi Arabia and as such has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to open their regional headquarters at King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Huda Al-Lawati, a Non-Executive Director at Tim Hortons commented on the news: “We are very excited about the transformation and the innovation that we have seen here and know that there’s a lot more still to come. By basing ourselves in Riyadh, we strengthen our ties to this vibrant, young city. Saudi Arabia is well suited to our growth ambitions, and we are honoured to play our part in developing the local economy.”
