Second Tim Hortons location set to arrive in downtown Victoria

Finally, another place to get your morning double-double fix downtown!

Tim Hortons plans to open a second location along the 700-block of Fort St – in a converted Telus mobility retail store – possibly by late 2017.

This news practically guarantees shorter wait times at the current Tim Hortons on Blanshard and Johnson St, which has been an institution for almost a decade.

Only a Few Hundred Metres Between Locations

The proposed location will arrive by 2018 at the latest. And will be right next to Fort Street’s VanCity Credit Union branch – which is a mere 500 metres away from the first downtown Timmy’s.

So if you won’t settle for anything less than a distinctive red cup of caffeinated goodness, you’ll soon be able to take a quick stroll over to Fort St to grab one from your favourite Canadian establishment – and you’ll barely even have to wait for it!
