BRICK, NJ – The familiar red and white logo of Tim Hortons is set to make its debut along the Jersey Shore as the Canadian coffee and donut chain prepares to open its first local café in Brick Township.
The new location at 1 Old Lanes Mill Road will open in the first quarter of 2026.
Hiring is already underway, with positions available for both part-time and full-time team members starting at $15.50 an hour.
The restaurant sits near the corner of Burnt Tavern Road, beside the Shell gas station and just off the Garden State Parkway interchange — a prime stop for commuters and travelers heading to and from the Shore.
Construction crews, led by KS Builders, have completed underground plumbing and are preparing for the concrete slab pour as the building takes shape.
New jobs and menu offerings
Tim Hortons is seeking applicants who can deliver friendly service and maintain restaurant cleanliness while assisting with food preparation and guest orders. The company lists flexible scheduling and teamwork as key benefits for new hires.
Once open, the Brick location will serve the chain’s classic lineup of coffee, donuts, and Timbits, along with breakfast sandwiches and newer menu items like flatbread pizzas made fresh on-site.
A new player in a crowded market
The new café enters a competitive stretch of Route 70 and Burnt Tavern Road already home to Dunkin’, Wawa, and the Shore Good Pancake House. Despite the local competition, Tim Hortons is betting on heavy Parkway traffic and brand curiosity to drive its first Shore-area success.
Expanding its U.S. footprint
Tim Hortons, founded in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1964, has been steadily increasing its U.S. presence, with New Jersey becoming one of its growth markets. The Brick Township site continues the brand’s push southward from its established locations in northern counties.
For now, residents can expect to see hiring signs up through the winter as crews work toward a grand opening early next year — bringing a taste of Canada to the Jersey Shore coffee scene.
