A Canadian coffee and restaurant chain has lodged plans for its latest venture at a former tea factory in Speke.
Almost two years ago, planning permission was granted for a new supermarket on land at Speke Hall Road with outline terms sought for a drive-thru coffee shop and restaurant. After a new Aldi store opened on the plot last year, a supplementary application has been lodged with Liverpool Council for a new Tim Hortons facility next door.
In a bid to open up its third regional site, applicant Williams Gallagher on behalf of Tim Hortons, has lodged the application on the 2.4 hectare plot of land previously occupied by a tea factory. Until Aldi opened its doors in July last year, the site had been vacant since 2002.
