Tim Hortons, the well-known Canadian coffee chain, is all set to make its mark in Bengaluru, India. Given that Karnataka, recognized as the coffee capital of India, contributes a significant 70 percent of the nation’s coffee production, it’s only natural for Tim Hortons to choose this vibrant region as the perfect place to unveil its newest haven for coffee enthusiasts.
These significant openings are scheduled for Terminal 2 of Kempegowda International Airport and the lively Koramangala neighborhood. This represents a major achievement in Tim Hortons’ expansion plan, as it introduces its iconic beverages and delicious offerings to the southern region of India.
Starting from September 15th, customers will have the delightful opportunity to enjoy Tim Hortons’ renowned 100 percent premium Arabica coffee and indulge in iconic beverages such as the rich and creamy French Vanilla, the Java Chip Iced Capp, a refreshing blended frozen coffee treat, along with made-to-order meals and freshly baked goodies, including the beloved bite-sized traditional donuts known as Timbits.
As a testament to its dedication to embracing local flavors and preferences, Tim Hortons is adding two delightful regional specialties to its menu: the Ghee Roast Paneer Pocket and the Pepper Chicken Pocket. These additions celebrate the rich culinary heritage of Southern India and enhance Tim Hortons’ current food menu, which includes favorites like the Five Cheese Melt, Bagels, Piadinas, and more.
The Kempegowda location embodies Tim Hortons’ innovative approach, showcasing distinct Canada-inspired decor elements and introducing a range of specialty brewing techniques to elevate the customer experience. This offers fresh and unique ways for patrons to savor Tim Hortons’ signature coffee blends.
The store’s welcoming atmosphere, combined with its friendly staff, will foster a hospitable environment where visitors can relax, work, or socialize with friends while enjoying their beloved Tim Hortons treats.
Tarun Jain, CEO of Tim Hortons India, expressed, “The expansion of Tim Hortons into Bengaluru is a momentous occasion for us. Following the brand’s success in Delhi, Punjab, and Mumbai, we are thrilled to offer the same experience to this vibrant city, all while paying tribute to local culinary traditions. This marks a significant stride in our journey, and we eagerly anticipate becoming a part of the Bengaluru community.”
Thiago Santelmo, EMEA President of Restaurant Brands International said, “As we continue our expansion in India. We look forward to introducing more coffee aficionados across the country to our signature Tim Hortons beverages and delectable food.”
