Our custom restaurant furniture is handcrafted in Montr\u00e9al from 100% Canadian-sourced maple. Every piece of signage is designed, fabricated, and installed by Canadian suppliers. And restaurant artwork is conceived by Canadian artists, creatives and brought to life by Canadian makers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tim Hortons was built in Canada by Canadians, and we are proud to continue investing in Canada to give our guests beautiful, modern restaurants to enjoy,&#8221; said Axel Schwan, President of Tim Hortons. &#8220;These are Canadian families investing their own money in their own communities \u2013 and that&#8217;s something we&#8217;re proud of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Renovations and New Builds Improve the Guest and Team Member Experience<\/p>\n<p> Brighter, more beautiful restaurants:\u00a0Guests want to visit and team members want to work in nice restaurants. With better lighting, layouts and design, renovated restaurants are more welcoming spaces for everyone.<br \/>\n Improved restaurant layouts:\u00a0Better layouts allow team members to serve guests faster and more accurately.<br \/>\n Celebrating our Canadian heritage:\u00a0As fixtures in communities for more than 60 years, it&#8217;s important to reflect and celebrate Tims Canadian heritage and community connection. Canadiana and our commitment to supporting youth through Tim Hortons Foundation Camps is woven throughout the updated design.<br \/>\n A standout baked goods showcase:\u00a0Tim Hortons restaurants sell the most baked goods of any QSR in Canada. At the heart of each restaurant is a beautiful baked goods showcase that shows off our delicious donuts, cookies, Timbits, muffins and more.<br \/>\n Improved digital ordering and pick up:\u00a0Many guests choose to order using the mobile app or kiosk vs at the register.
