    As soon as January, students may also have the option of Tim Horton’s on campus.

    .It.s a matter of providing more choices,. said Denis Bérubé, Assistant Vice President, Adminstration and Ancillaries.

    Although plans have yet to be finalized, the university is working “in principle” to replace Raven’s Cafeteria with a Tim Horton’s. Since the proposed location is in the university proper, it will not be under the purview of the SFU Community Trust.

    The franchise will be operated by Chartwell’s, though prices will be identical to other locations, as stipulated by Tim Horton’s.

    Bérubé said that in a student survey conducted by Chartwell’s, Tim Horton’s was the top pick for fast food franchises they’d like to have on campus.

    Well fuck the local shops. Their fault for serving shitty and expensive food.

    You can always come back for a Certificate, a Second Degree or a Master's.

    You got any other place in mind? Look, due to installation cost, that Tim Horton should be built in a place already with kitchen hardwares. Since we already have the Mackenzie Cafe in the AQ, Raven's Cafe is excess. Besides, the food there sucks.

    the food @ the mackenzie caf sucks just as bad....

    who the hell voted for tim hortons anyways
    we already have coffee shops, and sandwich shops
    do we really need donuts?
    i would have preferred kfc, or a taco bell or something lol

    and anyone know what happened to that wrap shop in cornerstone, there wraps were damn good, but way overpriced

    timmys is dope tho u can get coffee and decent food for mornings

    they should get rid of the renaissance cafe, that or someone should teach them how to use their equipment cuz they dont know how to make coffee properly :p (sorry for being anal but having owned and operated a cafe i cringe at the sight of someone being incapable of even making a coffee right LOL)

    It is not like having another pub on campus is a good idea. Also, the idea of a pub or place that serve alcohol on campus appals me from the get-go. Look, we need a place that serves good frappuccino on campus, and we already got enough Starbucks products up here.

    I can't say anything about you kfc or taco bell suggestion without saying something racist.

    if it took me 5 years to do my undergrad, its safe to assume I'm likely not grad school material anyways

    so if timmys comes up to SFU does that mean Wendy's will come too? (since i usually see those two together)

    BACONATOR!!

    I thought there was some contract that Renaissance had which made them the only coffee shop on campus? Maybe that's a rumour.

    But yay, cheap coffee and yummy bagels!

    If you're after cheap coffee, I think that organic place right beside that Japanese food place @ cornerstone sells it for 25cents each if you have your own mug/cup

    I've heard about this rumour since as far back as August. I heard it was going into the Renaissance in the WMX and it was going to be run by Chartwells but do not fret as they have to sign a contract saying it would cost the same as a normal Timmy-Ohs and serving the same food.

    I wouldn't even feel sad if they flatten Renaissance and turn it into a Tim Horton. Having a coffee place in every single building is just excessive, especially if you consider that the Residence Dining Hall and the Pub/ Cafe are only a two minute walks away and they both serves pretty much the same thing as Renaissance.

    Instead of cheap coffee, I am actually interested in some quality coffee place. I want some place that serves frappuccino on campus.

    All university campus must have at least one place that serves shit, overpriced fast food. And Mackenzie perform this role quite well.

    In 2 and a half years on campus I've never eaten any campus food except for that japanese place once when I was starving.

    Well and that pizza place at the loop.
