Coffee Time has operated as many as over 100 stores across Canada in Ontario and Alberta, but by February 2023 their website shows approximately 30 locations.
[1] Coffee Time was founded in 1982 by Tom Michalopoulos in Bolton, Ontario.
The first stores were operated under license agreements before they moved onto franchising in the late 1980s.
In October 2006, Chairman's Brand Corporation (Coffee Time's parent company) purchased the Afton Food Group, which owned Robin's Donuts, 241 Pizza, and Mrs. Powell's Cinnamon Buns.
The name was used for only three years before the arena was sold and renamed "The Soccer Centre" in the early-2000s.
