The international restaurant group has signed to take 9,874sq ft of restaurant drive-thru space across three retail and leisure parks – Boldon, Bentley Bridge and Lakeside.
The brand specialises in freshly brewed coffee, donuts, and freshly prepared meals throughout the day, and has agreed to take the former Pizza Hut units at the three Landsec retail and leisure parks, all set to open in later this year.
The Boldon restaurant, a first in the Northeast for Tim Hortons, will cover 3,185sq ft, while the Bentley Bridge and Lakeside restaurants span 3,500sq ft and 3,189sq ft respectively, and are both only the second in their regions. Tim Hortons have also applied for planning on each of the three sites to create drive-thrus, which complements Landsec’s wider strategy for creating a more diverse offer within its retail and leisure parks.
Commenting on the lettings Daniel Rabin, Portfolio Director at Landsec, said: “While there was a lot of interest in these three spaces, the Tim Hortons offer really stood out. They give us a point of difference – these three being either the first or second within their region – and their plans to incorporate drive-thrus is a clear statement of their commitment to all three places.”
