Tim Hortons opens next week
The doors to the metro-east’s newest coffee and doughnut joint will open next week.
Customers will be welcome at the Tim Hortons shop at 450 Regency Park Drive starting at 5 a.m., Friday, Aug. 12.
Lots of local flavor is planned for the grand opening festivities that will begin at 10 a.m., Blue and gold donuts — Panthers colors — are available free to students and faculty members with their school IDs through August 19. The O’Fallon Township High School pep rally was cancelled.
In addition, the first 250 people who present their Scott Air Force Base ID will get free camouflage coffee mugs.
While the grand opening is set for 10 a.m., the restaurant will open at 5 a.m.
Construction on the site began in April. The O’Fallon site is the first Tim Hortons in Illinois and the fifth in the St. Louis area.
The restaurant will share the building with a Reliance Bank branch.
