It was announced in June that Niverville will soon be getting its own Shell gas bar and attached Tim Horton’s restaurant at the corner of Highway 311 and Krahn Road, in front of The Highlands subdivision. Construction has been underway throughout the summer.
Miguel Forest, who will own the building and operate the Shell station, initially estimated that the businesses would be open on December 1. That date has since been pushed back a few weeks.
“Tim’s wants to open December 1, but that won’t happen,” says Forest. “The holdup will be getting power to the site. Hydro won’t be ready for the beginning of December.”
Forest says the new plan is to be open by the end of December. All of the underground construction is to be complete by October 8 to maintain quality of the work before the cold weather arrives. However, Forest acknowledges that many factors could come into play to change this plan.
A franchisee has been selected to operate the Tim Horton’s, although no names have yet been announced.
