New Restaurants to Open in Minnesota

New York (Oct. 20, 2016) - Minnesota communities are about to become a “Timbit” sweeter with the arrival of two new Tim Hortons® restaurants in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The iconic Canadian coffee brewer will celebrate its first grand opening in Minnesota at Mall of America® in November 2016.

“Tim Hortons is a great addition to our expanding and eclectic mix of fast casual options throughout Mall of America,” said Carrie Charleston, VP of Leasing at Mall of America. “We are thrilled for this growing international brand to join the Mall of America family.”

Mall of America is the largest retail and entertainment complex in the United States with more than 520 world-class shops, the largest indoor family theme park, a walk-through aquarium and numerous dining options. Tim Hortons® will be located on Level 2, East near the Rotunda.

“We are thrilled to be a part of the Minneapolis community, bringing Tim Hortons signature coffee blends, baked goods and meal offerings to the Twin Cities,” said Paul Durigon, CEO of Restaurant Development Partners (RDP). “We look forward to growing the Tim Hortons brand for many years to come.”

Restaurant Development Partners is managing the expansion and growth of the Tim Hortons® brand across the state of Minnesota. Following the Mall of America opening, Dinkytown residents can expect to taste their first Double Double™ next.

“Bringing the Tim Hortons brand to Minnesota is something we are really excited about,” said Felipe Athayde, President of Tim Hortons® US. “We have full trust that our partners at RDP will bring the Tim Hortons passion for great coffee, food and community involvement to the neighborhoods and guests across the Twin Cities.”

Tim Hortons® offers a variety of baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, and lunch options, alongside its new espresso offerings and famous Dark Roast, Original Blend and Decaf coffees.
