Planning for the Kwantlen Tim Hortons location started last year; it was originally slated to open in February or March, according to a November 26, 2009 Chronicle article by Jacob Zinn.

Gowen said in his email that, in the course of the location’s planning, “both Chartwells and Sodexo” offered proposals to operate the Kwantlen Tim Hortons.

Other Lower Mainland post-secondary institutions with on-campus Tim Horton’s locations include British Columbia Institue T, Capilano University, Douglas College, University of the Fraser Valley and SFU.

The Tim Hortons locations are run by the respective food service providers at each institution, said Gowen.
