Tim Hortons hasn’t but opened its first San Antonio cafe, however it’s already pulling an influence play. The large Canadian doughnut and occasional chain is opening a second Alamo Metropolis location at 14076 Nacogdoches Rd. on the Northeast Aspect.
Whereas extra widespread than Starbucks in its house nation, “Timmy’s” is a relative newcomer to Texas. The model has nearly 700 items within the U.S., principally scattered throughout Northern states like Michigan, Ohio, and New York.
However that’s about to alter. In late 2025, Katerina Glyptis, the chain’s U.S. President, informed restaurant trade information website QSR Journal that it was actively signing franchise offers all through America, together with 5 in Texas. Though she didn’t specify which markets had been included within the contract, state regulatory paperwork for a brand new San Antonio location at Redland Plaza, 2919 N. Loop 1604 E., was filed in February.
The chain was based in 1964 by entrepreneur Jim Charade and the late Canadian ice hockey legend Tim Horton. Since then, it has grown to be Canada’s largest quick-service restaurant chain and a Canadian cultural fixture. Stan Mikita’s Donuts, Wayne and Garth’s hangout in Wayne’s World, was a direct homage.
Though the chain made its title on doughnuts, it has tailored to modern tastes. Along with its signature deal with, Tim Hortons now serves Timbits (doughnut holes), breakfast sandwiches, bagels, and a wide range of candy and savory baked items. The drink choice covers espresso drinks, protein lattes, matcha, and fruity refreshers.
Tim Hortons has not formally introduced a date for both of its San Antonio areas, however mission timelines filed with the Texas Division of Licensing and Regulation estimate a June completion for the Redland Plaza cafe and a November wrap-up for Nacogdoches Highway. A request for a extra precise timeline was not instantly returned.
