DescriptionA&W is Canada's original hamburger quick service restaurant chain, and today is one of it's fastest growing.

The first A&W drive-in restaurant in Canada opened on Portage Avenue in Winnipeg in 1956. The combination of great tasting burgers, onion rings and frosted mugs of famous A&W Root Beer served by friendly carhops was an instant hit. A&W quickly flourished across the nation through the late 50's and 60's. In many communities, A&W was the first branded food service restaurant to come to town. Because we were there first, A&W drive-ins became the gathering place for the community. Millions of Canadians today carry vivid memories of special moments of their lives that were played out at their local A&W drive-in.
Whether they were kids in the back seat of the family sedan, or just hanging out with their best friends on a Friday night ogling the hot cars, Canadian baby-boomers grew up with A&W. It's an enduring friendship that is the source of A&W's continued success across Canada.

Since then, A&W has continued to grow and evolve with the times, expanding into over 600 locations from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland. At the heart of that growth is the fact that, while so much of our world has changed, the simple things that made A&W so popular in its early days are the same today. We still serve A&W Root Beer in frosted mugs. Our onion rings are made fresh from whole onions every day.
