The group saw like-for-like sales up 10% year on year over the festive period following growth throughout 2025, with system sales increasing to £105m (versus £99m in 2024) and like-for-like sales up 8%.
Known for its filtered coffee, breakfast and all-day food menu, Tim Hortons says its performance was boosted by the demand for round-the-clock coffee and food, with many sites operating 24 hours a day throughout the year.
During the period the French vanilla coffee emerged as the most popular drink, while the Chocolate Glazed Timbits® doughnuts led baked goods sales.
Other strong-performing signature items included the old fashioned glazed and Boston cream doughnuts and the crispy chicken brioche burger range.
“We are pleased about the progress we have made throughout 2025, and particularly over the festive period, which demonstrates our offering is resonating with consumers across the UK,” says Deepinder Batth, CEO of Tim Hortons UK & Ireland.
“Over the last 24 months we have honed our UK market proposition and are confident we now have strong foundations in place to deliver sustainable, long-term success.
“Our quality coffee and freshly prepared food, at an affordable price point, is highly popular with customers, evidenced by strong 8% like-for-like growth momentum over 2025 and encouraging Christmas trading performance.”
Going forward, the business will look to emulate the characteristics of its top-performing outlets as it further consolidates its position in the UK market.
“We look forward to growing the Tim Hortons brand, which is iconic in Canada, in the UK over the coming years, bringing the warm hospitality for which it is renowned to increasing numbers of loyal customers throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.”
Tim Hortons UK & Ireland currently operates 70 stores across the UK.
