FARGO – As part of a five-year global strategy plan announced last month, Tim Hortons plans to open 15 locations in the Fargo and Minot areas.
The 15 stores will be a mix of full-service restaurants with drive-thrus and “nonstandard” restaurants located within businesses, such as gas stations, hospitals, office buildings and arenas, according to Brynn Burton, manager of U.S. public relations for Tim Hortons Café and Bake Shop.
Fargo can expect to see restaurants opening in early 2015, Burton said in an interview Wednesday.
Tim Hortons is a Canadian-based brand known for its coffee, doughnuts and other baked goods. There are 4,485 restaurants globally, including 859 in the U.S. There now is a Tim Hortons restaurant in Grand Forks, as well as a location inside the Ralph Engelstad Arena.

No details are available about who will own the franchises, the exact locations in Fargo or Minot, or how many of each type of restaurant would be in each community. Burton said more announcements will be made.
