New location of Tim Horton’s at Bayview and Eglinton
Faithful reader Bob Arsenault has tipped The South Bayview Bulldog to the impending arrival of Tim Horton’s on the main level of the condominium at the southwest corner of Bayview Ave. and Eglinton Ave. E. It will occupy two units that were previously occupied by Herbal Magic and Eco-Pure Dry Cleaners. Renovations are currently under way The revelation comes in the wake of The Bulldog’s story over the weekend that Tim’s has passed up the specially built store in the Metro Grocery complex across the street. So what’s going on? Some will say there’s no parking for customers at the chosen location. Maybe, but this seems to be a long term play for when the Eglinton LRT station is open across the street on the site of what is now the McDonald’s. It is going to be a busy corner for many years. There will be construction on the Metro site for the secondary entry to the LRT. As well, Rio.Can, owner of the Sunnybrook Plaza, has a proposal. to build a condominium and commercial twin towers on the site of the 1950s strip mall. There may be enough construction workers to fill the Tim’s store between now the time the LRT is running. Thanks Bob, we love tip offs.
“Some will say there’s no parking for customers at the chosen location.” Umm… walk or take the bus. Not everything needs to have parking in front of it.
