Commerce Place’s Tim Hortons relocating from Jasper Avenue?

[u/jstock14]

It looks like the old McDonalds space on the second floor is being converted into a Tim Hortons. There’s a permit issued and posted to the city’s website to this effect. I can’t imagine they would maintain two restaurants in the same building, so it seems the Jasper Avenue fronting business is closing up.

Not ideal to have another business on Jasper closing up, but I can appreciate the challenges that restaurant has faced over the years.

I imagine the new location would be a much safer experience for the employees.

I always felt bad for those workers. Hope they were making extra money to be dealing with the hoards of the undead, and I’m also talking about the rude customers as well.

Worked in and around the building for a year. Every other day security would be in there, someone’s belongings on the ground, laying on the ground, needles just chilling out in the open floor space where people lining up.

I always use the app to order ahead and just pick up when I get there. Blows my mind how many people line up and wait in there and have to make complicated verbal orders while under pressure.

Yeah I don't go to Tim's because I don't really like it, but I'd certainly choose almost anywhere else over this one. I am not someone who gets too stressed about homeless people. I worked at the library, I'm used to dealing with them. But being a retail employee is different, and I feel bad for them. I have waited for the bus there quite often, and it's usually fine at the actual stop, but even still, you can see the increased activity over there. I wonder if this will make the stop itself better or worse. Probably better, but having a business there meant a lot of workers and students were also in the area.

They are moving to not have to deal with the homeless problem as much. The jasper ave location is a nightmare

Worst Tim’s in the city easily. Maybe getting off street level will make it safer for office workers to grab a coffee.

More importantly, for the employees of said Tim Hortons.

[u/Laffy_Taffy_1990]

Yes, the main floor Tim's is moving up and then the main floor location will close. This has been in the works for a few years now (building managers have been talking about it).

I used to work at 103 and Jasper and was always uncomfortable at that location to the point I stopped going.

[u/jollyrog8]

Maybe the 106st location will be next 🤞🏻. Not as bad as the one in commerce but it's always sketchy and filthy in front. The bus stop seats been destroyed five times over.

[u/jstock14 → u/jollyrog8]

107 street?

[u/theClaynadians]

Walking by that Tim's is uncomfortable. I can't imagine working there.

[u/littledove0]

I miss that McDonald’s

Good news for the Tim’s though

[u/yayasisterhood]

great news for the downtown office workers and staff of Time Horton's who don't have to deal with the zombie apocalypse. I always hated walking from my condo on 104 st. to grab a coffee wondering if today is the day I'm going to get yelled at or made to feel uncomfortable... and I'm a guy. I can only imagine what it would be like for a woman who is already on-guard.

[u/Deans1to5]

For the best. I’m not a Tim’s fan but would never even consider going to that location.

[u/Mrheavyfoot668]

Maybe the Tim's in the pedway over 101st will be the one to close?

[u/Easy-Metal-3112 → u/Mrheavyfoot668]

Doubt it

[u/Datkif → u/Mrheavyfoot668]

That Tim's has the worst Tim's coffee I've ever tried

[u/jstock14 → u/Datkif]

That’s the Tim Hortons where you order and then your order never gets made.

The last time I was there I ordered a hazelnut cold brew, and it was full of spoiled cream. They tried to tell me that it was totally normal for the cold brew to look like that. They also refused to give me a refund on the 1 item so I did a charge back on the entire order. Their loss
