Project Background

Construction included new interior partitions and ceilings, architectural finishes, foodservice areas, millwork and casework, kitchen infrastructure, mechanical and plumbing systems, HVAC modifications, electrical and lighting, equipment rough-ins, and coordination of restaurant-specific fixtures and equipment. Exterior work included modifications to the drive-thru operation, signage and equipment, along with associated site and concrete work at the pickup window and order station.

The scope of work also included new finishes throughout the space, encompassing floor tile, FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) wall panels, kitchen equipment, furniture, and updated signage. As GC, AHC coordinated all trades and suppliers to ensure each element aligned with both brands’ operational requirements and design standards, delivering a cohesive dual-branded environment that supports the distinct needs of A&W and Tim Hortons under one roof.

Our Solution

The A&W Annacis Island project involved a comprehensive renovation of an existing Wendy’s/Tim Hortons co-branded restaurant. As the General Contractor under a CCDC2 contract, AHC led the transformation of the space, which involved fully removing the Wendy’s portion of the existing restaurant to accommodate the introduction of A&W, resulting in a newly configured A&W/Tim Hortons dual-branded location. The renovated location features a dual-lane drive-thru and a welcoming patio, enhancing the guest experience and supporting high-volume service for both brands.

The project required close coordination between stakeholders, equipment suppliers, and construction trades to sequence the removal of the former Wendy’s fit-out and the installation of the new A&W elements without compromising the ongoing operations of the Tim Hortons location. AHC’s hands-on role as General Contractor, managing scheduling, trades, and site execution, helped ensure the renovation progressed smoothly, met established schedules, and delivered a fully functional, brand-compliant dual-branded restaurant with a dual-lane drive-thru and inviting patio.
