Tim Hortons is set to open its first outlet in Karachi on December 12, marking a major expansion for the brand in Pakistan. The new café will welcome customers at DHA Phase 8, adding another milestone to the chain’s growing presence in the country.
In a recent announcement, the company shared its excitement about entering Karachi. The message invited customers to visit the new location as doors open for the first time.
A Popular Global Brand Expands Its Footprint
Tim Hortons is widely known for its iconic coffee and freshly baked donuts. The brand also offers breakfast items, fast-food meals and a variety of snacks. It operates under Restaurant Brands International, a major Canadian company that owns several leading global restaurants.
Because of its diverse menu, the chain has built a strong international following. Its offerings in Pakistan generally fall between Rs350 and Rs1,050, placing the brand in the mid-range category for many consumers.
Growing Network Across Pakistan
The brand made its Pakistan debut in February 2023 with its first branch in Lahore. Since then, Tim Hortons has expanded steadily. It now operates 13 locations across major cities, including Islamabad, Lahore, Rawalpindi and Peshawar.
The Karachi outlet will further strengthen its presence, as the city represents one of the largest and most competitive food markets in the country. Therefore, the new branch is expected to attract significant attention from coffee lovers and food enthusiasts.
A Global Chain Reaching New Markets
Tim Hortons continues to grow internationally. The company currently runs more than 5,100 restaurants in 13 countries. These include major markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico and China. It also has a strong presence in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Because of its global reach, the chain adapts its offerings to suit local tastes while maintaining its core identity. The Karachi launch reflects this ongoing strategy, as the brand expands in regions with high demand for quick-serve cafés.
Karachi Prepares for the Grand Opening
With the opening day approaching, excitement continues to build among local customers. Many expect the new outlet to introduce fresh menu options along with the brand’s well-known favourites. Therefore, the launch is likely to attract long queues, similar to earlier openings in Pakistan.
The arrival of Tim Hortons in Karachi marks another step in the city’s growing café culture, which continues to draw international brands and diverse culinary experiences.
