History
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."[https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapid=1443737]." Company Overview of Afton Food Group Ltd. Bloomberg. Retrieved on April 4, 2018. In 2014, Coffee Time began updating and rebranding its locations.
Coffee Time Arena
An indoor soccer arena was built in 1998 in Vaughan, Ontario, and it was named "Coffee Time Arena." Located about 300 m east of Martin Grove Road (location number 7500/7700), it is near an industrialized area and north of Vaughan Grove Sports Park. The complex also includes an outdoor soccer field. The name was used for only three years before the arena was sold and renamed "The Soccer Centre" in the early-2000s.
