Would have liked to see both properties butted up together, but we're working on just a single location..
TimWend's can be quite a maze during lunch time with the two drive through lanes accessing the same buildings two drive through access lanes.

We are just doing up a Tim Hortons at one of our centers, and the city requires enough drive thru space for 25 vehicles.. yes.. 25 vehicles.. the architect has a double lane merging into a single lane, just to accomodate the volume requirements..
In GTA area the city's demand varies depending on where your location is on the going to work side or going home side. We have a Drive through only on Woodbine Ave which has two sets of drive through windows and each set is fed by two lanes of about 25 cars. With 100 vehicles on the property there is sometime a lineup onto the street in the morning.

Have you notice that the timbits are now in packs of small medium and large instead of numbers?

Lining up at a Timmy DriveThru is the new national pastime.
