Here’s a throwback to 2004 when there was a Tim Horton’s on the north east corner of Ouellette and Gilles. No drive through was the downfall of this one, the site today is an empty lot.

Lack of drive thru, plus people would stay more than two minutes. They could not move people out fast enough.
There was no room for a drive thru on that property though that didn’t stop the city from allowing Tim Horton’s to create the disruptive shit-show on Kildare @ Ottawa st. That should have been denied as well!
Be a great name for a football stadium. Maybe the folks in Hamilton should look into it.
Andrew, it is Giles; I usually make the same mistake.
I remember when that Tim Hortons had a separate, glassed-in smoking section. Every time the door opened a cloud drifted out into the rest of the shop…
You’re right John, that is a shit-show on Ottawa. Dumb idea by the city.
Used to be a gas station on that corner. Got air for my bike tires if Neville’s on Shepherd and Ouellette didn’t have their air hose outside.
The war memorial was there on the east boulevard of that intersection.
