There is a brand new spot to stop and get your favourite cup of coffee in Nanton.

Tim Hortons opened on December 22nd after passing their final inspection.

Owner Roger Reid says it was great to finally be able to serve people this morning.

"It has been a great morning so far," said Reid. "We have been turning people away for three weeks as they crawled over construction traffic and stuff and so today it's really just awesome to open the doors and welcome people in."

He said so far the customers have been a mix of locals and travellers.

Reid adds it has been a long journey as they have been working for four years to open the Nanton location.

"It's been long for us. My wife Darlene and I have been anticipating opening up here for four-and-a-half years."

And they are still hiring.

"We got openings in all our spots. Daytimes, evenings, weekends in our bakery. We are always looking for people. We have already had I think an incredible response of people looking to work with our team."
