That is where we come in. At GEN-PRO, we bring over 25 years of hands-on ICI general contracting experience directly to your build. We have spent decades helping both national chains and international brands build a permanent, reliable footprint across Ontario, and we are ready to do the same for your coffee shop.
When you set out to open a successful coffee shop, you face structural and mechanical challenges right from the start. Your building must do more than just look inviting; it has to operate like a finely tuned engine. That means seamless space planning to handle heavy commercial espresso equipment, high-capacity refrigeration, continuous drive-thru lanes, and custom interior millwork, all crammed into a tight footprint engineered for fast-moving customer queues.
As you expand your brand into new markets, you cannot afford a builder who is learning on your dime. You need a construction partner who understands your technical specifications inside and out, anticipates equipment needs before the concrete is poured, and executes your drawings flawlessly without missing your grand opening deadline.
GEN-PRO is proud to have been that partner for Tim Hortons and several other businesses.
Franchise systems rely on brand consistency. Our team executes provided drawings down to the millimeter. We work directly from consultant specifications to ensure your physical space reflects your corporate identity.

Retail growth rarely happens in identical, perfectly square boxes. A growing brand needs a commercial contractor that can adapt a single set of corporate guidelines across varied environments:
At GEN-PRO, our continued success is built on the completion of thousands of projects. Each varies in complexity but remains consistent in quality. For example, we are proud to have helped the Tim Hortons brand expand its capacity to grow across Ontario for more than a decade.
Over the years, we have delivered dozens of new builds, inline special fit-outs, hospital kiosks, drive-thru upgrades, and full brand re-image renovations.
A project delay caused by a site injury or safety violation damages brand reputation. At GEN-PRO, our commitment to being a premier ICI contractor keeps our people and your projects safe.
We are proud to be COR Certified, a top-tier safety certification from the Infrastructure Health & Safety Association (IHSA). Our health and safety management systems meet the highest recognized benchmarks in Ontario. When you hire GEN-PRO, you partner with a contractor whose job sites pass continuous independent audits.
Our culture of excellence is also backed by decades of proven expertise. We support the Gold Seal Certification program, which means your project is led by recognized industry leaders who understand cost control, trade scheduling, and site safety from day one.
