Tim's to Bucks? Is change still brewing for Stenhousemuir drive through?
A proposal had been made public on a local authority planning website which seemed to point to a big brand change at a drive through restaurant.
Burton & Speke – the company that holds the regional franchise rights for Starbucks in Scotland – lodged a planning application with Falkirk Council on May 21 looking for permission to make alterations to the car park and signage at Tim Hortons, King Street, Stenhousemuir.
Online documents show diagrams which indicate the Tim Hortons signage on the premises changed to a Starbucks sign.
The diagram for the existing elevations for the site states "Sign – Tim Hortons Cafe and Bake Shop are part of the downtakings” and then the diagram for the “proposed elevations” shows a sign for Starbucks and the Starbucks logo put in place instead of the Tim Hortons logo.
However, the applicants withdrew both proposals on Wednesday, June 24.
Tim Hortons opened in Stenhousemuir back in 2018.
