We Now Know What's Going Into The Old Tim Horton's On Main St.

It is in a prime spot, right along the river and within walking distance of the huge Maine Savings Amphitheater venue. It seemed a shame that this building that was in such a great spot went unused.

Well, it won't be dormant for much longer. It will soon, according to city officials, resume its purpose as a purveyor of coffee to the masses. Simply put, it's going to become an Aroma Joe's!

According to the Aroma Joe's website, the franchise has over 100 locations across the Northeast, and a couple in Florida, and it's growing.

"Founded in 2000, Aroma Joe’s is a local destination for handcrafted coffee and espresso drinks, unique flavor infusions, signature AJ’s RUSH® Energy Drinks and all-day food offerings served with positivity, in a friendly and upbeat environment."

Over a dozen of those locations are here in Maine, the closest to Bangor being either their Orono, Newport, or Ellsworth locations.

It's nice that there will be another place to grab a cup of joe in the downtown area.

Along with Aroma Joes and Dunkin, Bangor also boasts a Coffee Express and Chimera Coffee.
