Rumor has it that Grand Forks' one and only Timmy's opened on December 4th, 2021. While ordering my Apple Fritter Donuts I asked the nice lady serving me when they opened. She wasn't completely sure, but thought that it was either the 4th or the 5th.

A completely average, run-of-the-mill Timmy's, it sprung from the ground through the latter part of the summer and the fall of 2021. Living nearby, I paused several times on my (nearly) daily walks to check on progress and shoot a few pix. In the gallery and below you will be able to witness the evolution of a Timmy's, from a hole in the ground to the completed building, open for business, and several stages in between.

Below is the beginning of a news article from the local newspaper, the Grand Forks Gazette, which appeared well over a year prior to the opening. Apparently, the wheels of commerce turn somewhat slowly in Grand Forks. While there were several news articles published concerning the coming of a Timmy's to Grand Forks, we have yet to find any noting its opening.
Franchise owners look to build Tim Horton’s in Grand Forks
The permit application was heard at Monday, Nov. 8’s Committee of the Whole meeting at chambers

LAURIE TRITSCHLER | Nov. 10, 2020
City council instructed staff to review a new development permit for a Tim Hortons restaurant to be built on Central Avenue.

Council’s resolution followed a delegation by franchise owners Paul Stawarz and daughter Nicole MacMillan to the Committee of the Whole Monday, Nov. 9.

Stawarz and family had planned to build a Tim’s in the parking lot at Save-on-Foods, near the intersection of Central Avenue and 5th Street, but MacMillan said the project fell through due to complications with a lease agreement. Stawarz and MacMillan told the committee they now hope to build at the old Chevron station at 1863 Central Ave.

Their family company, JAMM Properties (JAMM), has made an offer on the property, pending the council’s approval of the permit.

JAMM owns eight Tim Horton’s across the Southern Interior, Stawarz told the committee. JAMM owners Stawarz, MacMillan and her siblings live in Penticton.

The City of Grand Forks has heard proposals to build a Tim Hortons since 2016.

“Grand Forks has been on our radar for a few years,” MacMillan said, adding that JAMM owns a franchise in neighbouring Castlegar.
