  • Abandoned Wendy's / Tim Horton's Combo - Lewis Center, OH. Enjoy a look at this old combo location from the time period Wendy's and Tim Hortons were owned by the same parent company. Since then, Tim Hortons had split off from Wendy's and competitor, Burger King, went into co-ownership with Tim Hortons. Though some of these Wendy's / Tim Horton's combos still exist open many are closed and more will close when leases expire.

    According to the google street view from September of 2016 Wendy's was there, then as of October of 2017 the Wendy's signage was gone and it looks like Tim Hortons remained open for quite a while in the old building until the newer one was built.

      Wendy’s moved up to the North Pointe plaza, Tim Hortons moved next door
      We still have that combo near us

    You're SO right about restaurants having more character back in the day. I grew up in mid-80s to mid-90s. I remember McDonald's having the red roofs and "french fry" lights (IYKYK) playgrounds, and MdDonald Land characters everywhere. Wendy's had the fake plants, and the solariums that heated up like ovens in the summertime, because of all the glass, but you still wanted to sit in there and eat, even if it meant you'd be sweating lol. Taco Bell had actual terracotta tile roofs on the fronts of their stores, stucco exteriors and arched windows (a'la Mexico, or what they thought Mexico looked like, anyway, lol), and for a while, their stores even had a real bell, hanging from a little faux cupola at the top of the roof. And of course, they had the chihuahua, albeit that was a bit later. Kayla, that dog inspired MY love for chihuahuas, too-AND I had the stuffed dogs, too. They talked, using phrases from the commercials. I had three out of the four. One said, "Here lizard lizard!" Another said, "¡Viva Gorditas!" And the third, of course, said, "Yo quiero Taco Bell." Lol! Sadly, I think I lost them in storage. But what awesome memories. Oh, and fun fact, I'm pretty sure the Taco Bell Chihuahua was, in real life, female!

    Many independent doughnut shops and small chains were driven out of business by Tim Hortons. Among recent redevelopment agreements in the township is a Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen location to be built on the site of the former Wendy’s/Tim Hortons on Owenfield Drive, next to the new Tim Hortons site near Meijer. The building will be torn down and a new one built on the same site.

      Now you'll see less of those 'duals" as nowadays Tim Hortons (the whole chain at both sides of the border) is part of Restaurant Brands, the same Brazilian-owned (3G Capital) company that also owns Popeye's and Burger King.
      So these "duals" are now up to the franchisee level to a few businesses who owns both TH and Wendy's franchises.

    That front facade looks kind of like a bank or credit union. Doesn't look like any Wendy's from the 80's/90's/00's with that front greenhouse thing with the fake plants and maple table/chairs.
    I have family in the Columbus OH area, back in the 90's I remember seeing a few of these Tim Horton's/Wendy's locations, but we never ate at one. I did eat at the FIRST Wendy's location in downtown Columbus. It was huge and had "the original" 1960's Wendy's dining room, probably a recreation of what it looked like. The "original dining room" was small/tight. Maybe 3 two tops, a couple 4 tops. Dark wood paneling, orange/brown trippy carpeting, stained glass light fixtures, all the furniture was dark walnut/oak, had those crazy beads hanging in the doorway where you entered.

    the best Wendy's move I ever saw was they closed a Wendy's on one side of a street and built a new Wendy's right across the street from the old one they closed. I guess people going eastbound were hungrier than those going west. they made that move shortly after McD closed their store that was next to the old Wendys and moved less than a 1/4 mile down the street to be right next to a BK.

    Wow, I honestly had no idea back in the day that Tim Horton’s and Wendy’s had a joint venture to be able to have two restaurants in the same location in various spots. Looks like this did recently close too because of the notice that was put on there that pertains to Covid safety. Such a shame that these buildings are going by the wayside in place of what I fully agree it’s such a boring design with the shoebox that everyone is going for now. And shopping centers signs from yesterday you’re are pretty much gone now in fever of these ones where they have businesses on the bottom and then apartments above them. Heck, I just saw a prime example of this when I took a quick trip back home just over the weekend to where I’m from originally (suburbs near the Milwaukee area) and in a spot where there used to be a motel as well as a bar, both of those have now been torn down and I would not he surprised that in its place more apartments sprang up. Modern architecture has become way too predictable and so boring!

The Wendy's dining room would close at 11, while Timmies was open 24hrs. Even though Timmies and Wendy's no longer share a partnership, most of these combo locations are still running here in Canada. Timmies is more than a coffee/doughnut shop... They have wraps, chicken burgers(not the greatest), potato wedges, chili, soups, and many other items... Maybe the US ones are different????

    I used to go here all the time as a kid. I have memories of eating doughnuts in the morning while watching cars drive down 23.
    Memories man.
    My mom got robbed at that UDF gas station behind your car, and we would sled down the hill next to that Meijer there. 😂
    It’s wild to see it like this.
