The Canadians are coming! The Canadians are coming to Ann Arbor!A developer plans to turn an old Shell gas station at the corner of Washtenaw and Huron Parkway into a new Tim Hortons on the city’s east side now that the City Council said aboot time to the development, giving the the green light Monday night.The gas station has definitely seen better days, becoming older and dingier since it was first built in the 1950s. The new plans call for construction of a 4,500-square-foot building that will house both a gas station and Tim Hortons.The new building will come with a drive-thru, five gas pumps and 18 parking spaces. Tim Horton’s is a coffee/donut shop practically synonymous with it Canadian roots. Although it seems like there is a Tim Hortons on practically every corner in Canada, the company just started to make inroads into the U.S. in recent years. This will be Ann Arbor’s second store. The first is on Boardwalk next to Damon’s restaurant and not far from Briarwood Mall.Source: City of Ann ArborWriter: Jon Zemke
