OVERVIEW
Redefining Style with Speed & Service
Tim Hortons is a Canadian multinational fast-food restaurant chain, primarily known for its coffee and donuts. It's one of the largest restaurant chains in North America, particularly in Canada, where it's considered an iconic heritage brand. Franchise Bill Trude owns 4 Tim Hortons locations in Northern Ontario, located around major communities, and needed a way to increase sales without the usual headache.
THE CHALLENGE
As a franchise owner, Bill had been through several disruptive and expensive renovations, burdened by 5+ points of contact, weeks of downtime, staff layoffs, and trailer rentals just to keep customers served. In those experiences they had to deal with store dark periods for up to 60 days, costing an average of $25,000 a week.
For their Owen Sound location, Bill needed a smarter and faster approach that wouldn’t sacrifice quality or lose valuable sales. Archmill House's Rapid Reimage™ was delivered from start to finish on a fast-track timeline with minimal downtime and disruption.
THE SOLUTION
Our Rapid Reimage™ service ensured that from demolition to the grand reopening we're on schedule and Bill had total visibility.
We understand a franchisee owner's priorities and needs specific to the QSR industry and we get it done with one single point of contact for your project including Design, Architectural/MEP drawings, Equipment commissioning (TDL), Construction, and Millwork manufacturing and installation. With this integrated approach we are able to plan and accommodate from trenching and infrastructure upgrades to a fresh ceiling grid, full furniture installation, and a brand-new millwork package modernized the both front- and back-of-house.
We ensure the approach with our team coordinating with TDL-approved vendors, handled deferred maintenance, full site surveys, signage procurement, and decor to ensure everything is pre-verified.
No backorders and minimize change orders to ensure savings and quality your customers demand.
“One point of contact for the whole project was big for me—it was just easier dealing with one company, from your millwork to your showcase to the exterior remodel work. Archmill helped me keep my doors closed for the shortest amount of time possible, and that kept my loyal customers and staff happy.”
- Bill Trude Franchise Owner of 4 Tim Hortons
