BUFFALO NARROWS CELEBRATES
TIM HORTONS GRAND OPENING
Residents of Buffalo Narrows lined
up out the door to get a cup of Tim
Hortons famous coffee. On March 25, the
Canadian coffee chain opened its doors
in the town for the first time.
"Four coffee pots going nonstop from
open to close, I can't believe how much
coffee we went through," said Calvin
Daigneault, Store Manager at Northern
Buffalo Narrows. "It was loud like a party

in here, you could hear the crowd from
all the way across the Northern store. A
crazy party at Tim Hortons all day and all
night, people were really excited."
Since opening, coffee is the store's
most popular product. In just a week and
a half the store sold over 4,500 cups.
Although coffee is the biggest seller, the
store's baked goods are not far behind.
"I call my baker 'The Muffin Man',
because that's all he does all day; he
makes tons of muffins and doughnuts
constantly," joked Daigneault.
On opening day, Tim Hortons gave
away 500 mugs that were customized
for Northern Buffalo Narrows. Each mug
read 'Where you're always welcome', and
inside was a coupon for a free coffee.
"People were really liking the mugs, it's
nice to have one to take home with you,"
said Daigneault.
Although the new addition has been
exciting, Daigneault says it has been
somewhat of a challenge.
"We weren't expecting it to be that busy
on the first day, or every day after that, so
of course there will be a few kinks," added
Daigneault. "Overall though we're very
happy with how it's going, and it has been
very well received by our customers."
Tim Hortons is located in the Buffalo
Narrows Northern store, so shoppers can
grab a cup of coffee before continuing
their shopping experience. The opening
of the restaurant has created five new
jobs for the community and is open seven
days a week.
The coffee chain originally started in
southern Ontario, but quickly spread
across Canada. Most recently they have
started expanding their stores to Northern
communities like Buffalo Narrows.
