Sundre Tim's location merely a rumour

While rumours of a Sundre Tim Hortons location have perked the collective ears of locals, the area franchise owner says nothing is set in stone.

While rumours of a Sundre Tim Hortons location have perked the collective ears of locals, the area franchise owner says nothing is set in stone.

The franchise owner for the Olds and Innisfail Tim Hortons locations doesn't deny the rumors, but says such a possibility is still in its infancy.

ìThere's some discussions going on right now, but that's probably where I want to leave it,î owner and operator Archie Jacobs told the Round Up last Tuesday.

ìThere's nothing really definitive.î

The Town of Sundre's department of planning and development confirmed Jacob's statement, indicating that no permits have been issued.

"We are unable to confirm or deny the rumours, as we have not issued a development permit,î said Tracy Ference, Sundre's manager of planning and development.

ìOut of respect for all individuals, in accordance with the FOIP Act, the planning and development department may discuss developments only where permits have been issued.î

Jacobs said he wanted to avoid contributing to a conversation that is currently nothing more than rumor.

ìThere's no sense getting people's hopes up and getting a bunch more rumors started than I guess there already is.î

Ference said the department welcomes a variety of developments to the Town of Sundre, and anticipated scheduling an interview at a later date.
