Ellet neighborhood snags first Tim Hortons in Akron.
Akron’s inaugural Tim Hortons will open this month in the neighborhood of Ellet at 637 Canton Road. The Canadian-based chain is extending its reach into Northeast Ohio via TH Cleveland, a Beachwood-based franchisee.
The launch of 105 Tim Hortons throughout Northeast Ohio was announced in 2017 with eight tentatively scheduled to open in 2018. Those plans did not work out as anticipated.
Working with a “first of its kind” concept, TH Cleveland is using plans that necessitate building stores from the ground up, rather than retrofitting an already standing structure. The newly conceptualized Tim Hortons offers cleaner signs and designs but also results in extended preparation before a store can open.
A lot of behind-the-scenes preparation is needed to launch a new business. Food establishment have particularly long lists of must-haves: everything from kitchen equipment and utensils to cups and cutlery for customers, all the way to paper goods. Business card printing is among the vital items on the list.
Franchisee TH Cleveland has not finalized plans for a Cleveland area Tim Hortons but it does operate five in the Columbus area. This fall, another Tim’s will open on Akron’s southeast side near East Waterloo Road on George Washington Boulevard.
The Ellet store will open at 5:00 am on July 18; Monday – Saturday store hours will be 5:00 am – 9:00 pm, and Sunday’s hours will be 7:00 am – 8:00 pm.
