A proposal has been made public on the local authority website which seems to point to a big brand change at a drive through restaurant.

Burton & Speke – the operating company that holds the regional franchise rights for Starbucks in Scotland – lodged a planning application with Falkirk Council on May 21, which was validated on June 2, looking for permission to make alterations to the car park at Tim Hortons, King Street, Stenhousemuir.

And that is apparently not the only change as the online documents show diagrams which indicate the Tim Hortons signage on the premises is going to be 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 as sign for Starbucks and the Starbucks logo put in place instead of the Tim Hortons logo.

Tim Hortons opened in Stenhousemuir back in 2018.
