Canada’s coffeehouse Tim Hortons opened its sixth store in South Korea in the business district of Gwanghwamun in central Seoul on Tuesday.

The store is located at Gwanghwamun K-Twin Towers, one of the major office buildings in the area. It is also near major tourist attractions such as Gyeongbokgung and Samcheong-dong.

From April 16-18, Tim Hortons will be giving away reusable bags to the first 100 customers who make a purchase of 15,000 won ($10.7) or more at the new store each day.

Tim Hortons supports mobile pre-ordering through its app called Tim’s Order. The coffee brand is also running a promotion where customers receive a free Americano coffee upon their first stamp collection.

Starting with the Sinnonhyeon Station store at the end of last year, Tim Hortons has been expanding its presence in Korea with locations including those near Seolleung Station, Sungnyemun, Seoul National University Station, and Seohyun Station.

The coffee brand aims to manage 150 stores in Korea within five years.
