On Friday morning, Tim Hortons opened its third location in Swift Current.

With the new Tim Hortons, Swift Current becomes the fifth city in Saskatchewan to have three or more.

Dade Getzinger, owner of the Tim Hortons in Swift Current, said they wanted to open the third location to meet the demand in the city.

"With the traffic volume on the other side of the highway we wanted to be more available, so they don't have to cross to the other side of the road," he said. "It's something that people have been looking for, where they can get a great cup of coffee on the other side of the highway. A lot of the city is on the other side of the highway."

Getzinger added with the support they've had from the community in their other two locations it was an easy decision to open up a third location.

There are over 3,842 Tim Hortons in Canada and 83 in Saskatchewan.

Of the 83 in the province, Saskatoon has 29, Regina has 17, Prince Albert has 4, and Moose Jaw has 3.

The brand new Tim Hortons is located at 1112 6th Avenue Northeast.
