Update: When Will Tim Hortons Open?

Here's the latest on the long-awaited coffee and donut shop in Rochester Hills.

Tim Hortons will open its first restaurant in Rochester Hills in mid-March.

Rochester Hills Mayor Bryan Barnett announced the latest news about the coffee and donut shop at the conclusion of his address last week at the Rochester Regional Chamber Community Outlook Luncheon.

Work on the 1,334-foot drive-through is under way on the site of the former Dunkin' Donuts on Rochester Road, north of Avon Road. The old Dunkin' Donuts was torn down at the end of December.

The restaurant will exist mainly as a drive-through; the maximum occupancy of the inside of the restaurant will be nine people. It will be open 24 hours and a timer above the drive-through window will help guarantee that it will take only 25 seconds to get your donuts and coffee, restaurant representatives told city leaders in the fall.
