Canadian coffee chain Tim Hortons opened its first store in an upscale shopping mall in Lahore, Pakistan, on Feb. 11. The 8,000 square foot outlet offers in-restaurant seating for more than 150 customers as well as a drive-thru, in partnership with Turkish company Blue Foods Ltd.
The new store reportedly created a global record, with news reports indicating the new location had the highest opening sales in the chain’s history since it launched in Canada in 1964. According to an online menu, a small coffee costs 350 rupees, the equivalent of US$1.30, and a large flavoured coffee is double that. Sandwiches cost in the range of 750 rupees.
