ToNeTo Atlanta has learned that metro Atlanta is getting at least one more Tim Hortons, but its location is not as close to intown Atlanta as some may hope. The new Tim Hortons is planned along Peachtree Parkway in Suwanee. Local franchisee Tushar Patel plans to build a new ground-up Tim Hortons on a one acre site across from Celebration Village Forsyth, a 52 acre retirement community.
The Canadian staple is known for its coffee, donuts and breakfast sandwiches, among other offerings.
The company made their Georgia debut this past June with an outpost along Veterans Parkway in Columbus. The Columbus location opened to significant fanfare, but customers are seemingly not impressed, with many on Yelp and Google complaining of inaccurate orders, inattentive staff and disappointing food. The restaurant has an overall two star rating on Yelp and a slightly better 3.7 on Google.
Abid Khutliwala, the franchisee of the Columbus restaurant also pitched an 888 square foot drive-thru only unit along State Bridge Road in Johns Creek that was panned by neighbors.
Other locations are reportedly in the works at Tara Boulevard and Edgemoor Avenue in Jonesboro, Highway 34 and Posey Road in Newnan and another at 610 Spring Street in Midtown where it will share space with an existing BP. The Midtown outpost, which was previously supposed to have opened earlier this fall, is reportedly now expected to open in May, according to an employee at BP.
Tushar Patel of McDonough-based Royal Seven, a holding company that operates several franchises, is opening the Suwanee restaurant.
The company announced in March it plans to open at least 30 Georgia locations over the next five years.

I have been waiting for this news since the day I moved to the US! Close enough to home that I can go regularly but not so close I am there every day. Looking forward to getting my Iced Capps and Canadian maples. 🍁
LOVE Timmies!!!
Please open one in pleasant Hill area in Duluth! Best iced Capps ever;
Timmys coffee milk and maples! Mmmm
I visit the one Columbus, GA on a regular basis. Best Coffee and donuts. My favorite items there, besides the coffee and donuts, is the maple waffle breakfast sandwiches and Original IceCapp. Super friendly employees too.
But, just like most every fast food restaurant it’s subject to staff shortages and mistakes. It doesn’t reflect on the quality of food and drinks. Plus the stuff is very good about making corrections.
I personally would love to see a larger variety of donuts and other food items. The selection is a little on the light side.
I looking forward to more opening around the city.
There are a lot of Canadians in the Marietta/ East Cobb area. Bring one here please!
So excited for the one in Suwannee me and my mom would go to one every time we visited relatives in Canada as I was growing up best timbits and coffee ever
Born in Toronto, Canada and raised on Tim Hortons! I live in McDonough, Georgia and drive 2 hours just to have my Tim Horst every month since they opened in Columbus, Georgia. I’m known for my obsession for Tim Hortons and everyone I know here in McDonough, Georgia can’t wait to try it too knowing how much I love Tim Hortons so I’m praying you open a location here in McDonough, Georgia. Do your research and you will see that this is the number one area to build one here. They just opened a Costco and have all the stores and restaurants around and a kazillion subdivisions taking over here so many people to support a Tim Hortons location. I promise it will be the best decision to build in McDonough! Praying it happens!
