OAKVILLE, Ontario – Restaurant Brands International Inc., parent company of Tim Hortons, announced plans to bring the brand to England, Scotland and Wales.

"This deal is part of our growth plan to take the iconic Tim Hortons brand around the world," said Daniel Schwartz, CEO of Restaurant Brands International. "Great Britain is an attractive QSR market with a strong and growing coffee culture so it is a natural fit for the brand."

"This is an incredibly proud moment for the Tim Hortons brand as we enter this dynamic market," said Elías Díaz Sesé, president of Tim Hortons. "We look forward to bringing some of our signature products to Great Britain and helping our partners build brand awareness and open restaurants to welcome new guests."

This announcement is the most recent by RBI regarding its plans to develop and grow the Tim Hortons brand around the world. Last month, RBI announced a master franchise joint venture agreement to develop the brand in the Philippines. Today, the brand has restaurants across Canada, the United States and the Middle East.
