A&W
A&W Restaurants of Canada
A&W is a market leader in the fast food restaurant industry. From the ever popular, and phenomenally successful, Teen Burger to the Burger Family to their one of a kind handmade onion rings A&W is great food. There are over 600 A&W Restaurants from coast to coast in Canada. In 2001 A&W reintroduced Chubby Chicken, helping its restaurants to achieve record sales and growth.
A&W Restaurants began in 1919 in Lodi, California with a sidewalk stand opened by Roy Allen and Frank Wright. They began by selling the now world famous A&W Root Beer. Four years later Allen & Wright introduced "drive-in service" to capitalize on the popularity of the automobile.
Canalta and A&W Restaurants of Canada
Canalta has aggressively pursued development of A&W restaurants in rural Alberta. We have now expanded our development into Saskatchewan, with many locations now in operation. Canalta helped A&W to poineer its popular "Express" concept right from the start. Canalta will continue to develop A&W restaurants in rural areas of Western Canada as aggressively as possible.
