Creating 50 new jobs in the local area with a mix of full and part-time roles, the new sit-in restaurant and drive-thru will add to The Junction’s bustling food and beverage offering.

The new restaurant and drive-thru is now welcoming customers with its famous coffee, freshly baked donuts and delicious meals from 6am till midnight, seven days a week.

The highly anticipated restaurant opened its doors at the Junction One Retail Park for the first time today and celebrated by gifting the first drive-thru and restaurant customer free coffee, every day for the whole year.

Celebrating the opening of Tim Hortons at The Junction are (L-R) Chris Toner, New Store Opening Manager, Tim Hortons; Geraldine Robinson, Regional Manager, Tim Hortons and Chris Flynn, Centre Director, The Junction.

Customers in and around Antrim can now get their hands on its best-selling items, including Timbits®, Iced Capps, Freshly Baked Donuts and Tims® Crispy Chicken Sandwich.

To celebrate the opening, the brand is running a month of giveaways including free drinks and donuts as well as exclusive deals. These promotions will be available to anyone who activates their Tim Hortons digital card - redeemed via scanning a QR code within the store or by visiting here.

Longstanding tenant of The Junction, Costa Coffee has also rejuvenated its prime location at the retail scheme creating a modern, inviting café space with state-of-the-art facilities. The recently completed refurbishment is part of Costa’s newly agreed long-term commitment to The Junction.

Commenting on the news, Chris Flynn, Centre Director at The Junction, said: “At The Junction we have created a space for customers to relax, socialise and enjoy themselves and the arrival of Tim Hortons to the scheme further strengthens this offering.

Kevin Hydes, Chief Commercial Officer of Tim Hortons franchise in the UK said: “We began our journey in Northern Ireland three years ago when we opened the doors to our first restaurant in Belfast and have been welcomed with open arms ever since. Given the popularity of our current locations, it made sense to launch this newest restaurant with a drive-thru in Antrim so that we can make ourselves available to even more people.”

With a variety of high-quality outlets across the scheme, The Junction is committed to continuing to expand its portfolio with the recent opening of activewear shoe brand, Skechers, and plans submitted last November for a new £10m Dobbies Garden Centre, which will also include a food hall, restaurant and café.
