Heh, sounds familiar. Maybe the upstairs will be closed for the first few months, too. ;-)

LOL too funny.

Seriously though, the turn around on this project from demolition to almost completion has been impressive. If this was a government managed project,..(add witty statement here).

Kind of seems fitting that the shortest turnaround for a project in Hamilton is a Tim Hortons.

^When are they gonna move Head Office to town? Wasn't that a thing a while back?

[SteelTown]

No, they are staying in Oakville. Especially now that Burger King and Tim Hortons has merged.

[Dr Awesomesauce]

^Bummer.

It would be nice to see more Hamilton generated businesses retain their head offices in Hamilton or the in the downtown core.

ie: Tim Horton's, Pioneer and Dofasco (offices on Burl St).

First Ontario Credit Union's new building is almost completed off QEW in Stoney Creek and it looks great - would have been a huge boost to have that building in downtown Hamilton instead.

Ya know, that looks MUCH better than I thought it would. I like that they included a big picture of how the store originally looked.

I think a Hortons like this would look great downtown. In fact, I'd like to see a lot of the empty lots downtown filled with store-fronts like this.

This format of store could work perfectly for the Tims at John and Jackson, as well as by Hess and King

[Dr Awesomesauce]

It's missing yellow. Definitely needs yellow. And that big, rotating sign.

I often think the obsession with tim's is kinda bad and a little annoying.... but this is actually pretty cool

[davidcappi]

ITS ADORABLE OMG. the steel beams on the outside are a nice touch

[fizzle]

What an awesome idea and awesome looking building.

That Timmy's has been neglected for so long, which was annoying considering it was the first. Finally gets the respect it deserves.

I hope they keep refining the idea and don't just let it 'rot' for lack of a better word- I can't see all of the history on display, but I'd hope they have more than a few glass cases of stuff.
