Canadian coffee chain Tim Hortons will be opening up in Kuwait. Back in 2004 I took the picture above in Salmiya, supposedly Tim Hortons was opening up there but Dunkin Donuts ended up opening instead. [Link]

That’s so exciting!!
It’s kind of confusing at the same tho, cause I know that Tim hortons was strictly canadain. They didn’t even have a branch in the US (except on the borders) but since last year they opened up branches in US.
We asked a couple years ago if we could open one up in Kuwait and we got a no lol
But I’m so glad to hear their opening one up now 🙂
Bageltime.
yay ice capppps
i *heart* timmies…
Timmies is crap. Only two kinds of coffee (regular and decaf). Plus shitty donuts that taste like cardboard, and Timbits that taste like testicles. I can’t see it competing with Costa, Starbucks, Second Cup, Krispy Kream, and Caribou.
It will compete, I dont doubt that every single one of us Canadians in Kuwait will be there every day sustaining the timmies business at a very minimum lol
I agree with Amar.
And you have your facts wrong, Yeni. Timmies has a lot more options than just regular or decaf – please get your facts right.
Yes we will
Love Tim hortons can’t wait
Oh come on man, you know you’re exaggerating. You gotta be fair.
Yeah Yeni! If you don’t watch it…we’ll get Benihana to sue you. Uh huh…we will.
Stop being ridiculous. I don’t a single person who ever tasted Timmy’s donuts and timbits and said they tasted like crap. Every one who tried it here in Canada loved it because of the taste and the cheap price. It could compete with other brand coffee shops if they keep prices low in Kuwait. But since this is Kuwait, I highly doubt that.
more coffee shop, bas wala kuwait is full of these places.
exactly what kuwait needs, more coffee shops.
Guys stop complaining. Some people are looking forward to seeing Timmies open up. Why don’t you just adopt a live and let live approach on that front eh?
This is awesome!! Cant wait to have timmies, it will just be like a taste of home in Kuwait!
Timmies isnt just a coffee shop, its a culture :-P!
Amazing!!! Vanilla coffee…. I ve been wanting them to come to Kuwait for ever!!!
Well this doesn’t pertain to timmies but I got a email notice from 248am or pm and some knucklehead commented that Planet Hollywood is opening tomorrow. wish people would do some research first. i just called them to ask and they said no but soon(like if i really want to go there anyways).
someone commented that in an old post, maybe you had subscribed to it. https://248am.com/mark/kuwait/planet-hollywood-opening-in-kuwait/
I just received the notification today about that comment.
Starbucks killer.
Well it’s a big thing here in Canada, but are there lots of Canadians there in Kuwait or people who are familiar with the chain atleast?
can’t wait to see what all the fuss is about 🙂

For the last five years I was ordering all my raw coffee from Tim Hortons. So it is time to have it fresh directly from the source.
Tim’s coffee is pure crap and anyone that says it’s a Starbucks killer is a complete coffee idiot. Seriously there is nothing that touches Starbucks’ Sumatra and I’ve tried the overrated Konas and Blue Mountains.
I am an Americano lover and the best coffee I can find here in Kuwait sorted best to worse:
1- Coffee bean
2- Coffee Republic
3- Costa Coffee
4- Gloria Coffee
5- Caribou
6- Starbucks
so your Starbucks is at the end of the list.
Oh my goodness I can’t believe this. I work at timmies here in Canada and will be soon moving to kuwait. Having Timmies in Kuwait will be like home away from home :’).
Agreed, :-)…You work at timmies? When are you coming to Kuwait? Can you bring me some timmies peach juice, a couple ice caps, and 20 dozen everything bagles?
although it may be special, but the market’s saturated with coffee chains! don’t you think?!
Although Tim has a variety of items between coffees, bagels, daunts, cakes, soup and sandwiches, however it depends on mass sales. Most sold coffee is the brewed fresh coffee that expires within 20 minutes and must be changed after that. The price also is a factor here, the small cup of coffee in Canada is a round 1.20 CAD = 350 Fils. A fair price would be 500 Fils, this will be affordable twice a day.
It’s the poor/middle class choice of coffee chain, but some rich Canadians still go to it because it is after all, a national icon.
Starbucks, second cup and the rest are directed mostly towards the middle/rich classes.
Actually, this brings me to a question for all of you…
Can you buy non frozen, ie fresh, bagels anywhere in Kuwait?! I know Second Cup has bagles, but they are expensive if you are looking to buy in bulk for breakfast. I think its 750 fils for bagels, thats 7.50 KWD for 10…crazy.
Amar: You might be able to find at Dean & Deluca, Aubon a Pain, or even Sultan Center fresh baked goods.
Sweeet…Timmis in Kuwait……perfect for us Canadians!!! definitely gonna be drinkin all dem ice caps throughout the 50 degree summmers……cant’ wait!!
Ohh yeaaah..
Double double pleaassee..
As a Canadian I gotta say. Best thing ever!
i doubt it! i tried bringing it to q8 but they refused on the grounds that they want to be exclusively canadian!
mmmmmmm timbits
so has this place ever opened? I have been craving some different things for breakfast and to munch on in general, and te only way to have it is from a place know for their quality bagels! Just catching up on “How I Met Your Mother” season 5 and they are in a Tim’s in Toronto!
did this restaunrat open in Kuwait
if yes where please and when
Guys Tim Hortons is going to open at Avenues phase 2. It will open in first week of August
