I was starting to think that the old Tim Horton's building off of William S. Canning Boulevard was never going to be put to use. But it is poised to become a new location for a Fall River staple.
Al Mac’s Diner will be taking over the former Tim Horton's, officially located at 550 Newton Street, bringing it back as a coffee shop with that legendary Al Mac's name.
In May 2019, Cliff Ponte Jr. had the opportunity to buy the diner. In a post to Facebook, he said his goal was to hire “the most dedicated hard-working staff” and to offer quality food to customers. Ponte said that these goals were kept in mind throughout the tumultuous year that was 2020. Ponte said that he would be in business with his dad Cliff Ponte, Sr. while working on the new location.
