Popular Tim Hortons Chain Opens Location in North Bergen
January 31, 2025Mayor Nicholas Sacco ceremoniously cut the ribbon on Friday, Jan. 24, 2025 officially opening the Tim Hortons at 8401 River Road.
Joining in the celebration and enjoying snacks of delicious Timbits and coffee were Commissioners Hugo Cabrera, Allen Pascual, and Anthony Vainieri, along with owner Avak Uzat and his family, representatives from Tim Hortons management, and local residents.
The hugely popular chain was established 60 years ago by Canadian hockey player Tim Horton and is the biggest coffee and baked goods retailer in Canada by far. Forty years ago they began expanding into the U.S., largely in the Midwest. More recently they set their sights on New Jersey, with the North Bergen location their first in the region.
To express their commitment to the local community, they generously donated $1,000 to the North Bergen Family Recreation Foundation.
The River Road location is open from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, selling donuts, cookies, muffins, croissants, sandwiches, wraps, avocado toast, chips, drinks, and more. Visit them online at www.timhortons.com.
