they're quite common in Canada


They're common everywhere. A quick google search reveals that there are 1,200 A&W locations.

It's just easy for NMB to forget about A&W because he never leaves his house. For anyone with an actual life, it's not easy to forget A&W.
To my knowledge their advertising is minimal to non-existent and to argue that they are common everywhere just because of their total location number is misleading (and 1200 really isn't that many compared to the bigger chains that number in the tens of thousands). The distribution of their locations is uneven and depending on where you live you may never see them. While some states have a ton of them, others only have a few, and a few states don't even have any A&W Restaurants. See: https://awfranchising.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-02-at-5.22.01-PM.png

Personally I'm peripherally aware of them, but their food sucks and I don't normally drive by any so I don't tend to think about them.


I've never seen one and i don't think anyone i know has either....if you bring up A&W they'll probably go straight to thinking about the root beer

and i think that's most of america

because you can see all right? eye of thundera

how do i know you converse with humans? nobody ever posts proof of themselves talking to another human so how about doing that first

and also didn't you see the chart the guy on the last page posted?

1200 restaurants in total isn't a lot....and depending on where you live there maybe a lot of them a few of them or none at all

to be perplexed when i make that statement is laughable considering A&W Root Beer Has got to be sold in far more stores than there are actual A&W restaurants

The source of all his claims is his asshole.

He certainly hasn't gone around doing formal polling on A&W.

Never? Don't you live in Texas? There are 32 A&W restaurants in Texas according to that map. If you have never seen one, then that just proves you never leave your house.

1200 isn't a lot, but it's not rare either. It's common enough that the vast majority of people are aware the restaurants exist. Just reading through this thread, it seems like its only you who has never seen an A&W restaurant.

Also, the number of restaurant locations in your home state is a bit irrelevant here. Most people travel. Very very very few people never leave their home state. Even if you have few restaurants in your home state, it's still very likely that you have been somewhere that the restaurants are more common.

I mean, there are literally no Trader Joe's in the state where I live. Yet I know Trader Joe's exist and have been to states where there are Trader Joe's.

This is dumb. There are more grocery stores than there any restaurant period. So your claim could be used with any restaurant. White Castle sandwiches are found in more grocery stores than actual White Castle restaurants. Does that mean White Castle restaurants are rare? According to your dumb logic, it does.

I dont know who they polled when they put them in town, but they opened up 2 different drive-up ones with drive thru and not a sit down restaurant. Nobody ever uses the drive-up stalls, they just go to the drive thru. I actually went inside and ordered once and they were confused as hell. One shut down already due to lack of business lol

I usually tend to think of A&W in terms of the restaurant, because when I was a kid I don't remember there being the store-bought version. Maybe there was, but for a while I thought you could only get their root beer at the restaurant.

It's not a place I think about going to eat very often, though. Because of this topic I decided to look up if there were any near me and was surprised at how close the nearest one is. I'm actually glad it was attached to a KFC, because all the A&W food looked lame. The root beer is good but I wouldn't go here again since it's easy to find good small-company root beers in grocery stores nowadays

How is that even possible when nobody has the mental capacity to remember its existence because 1200 locations might as well be zero? People are only capable of remembering and eating at the first establishment that they see on the corner, which means McDonald's and Starbucks every day.

Fun fact, that Stewarts is not the same!

They both sell ice cream though, the one I was talking (That sells their soda nationwide) about only has about 30 shops and while some are in malls most are drive-in's.

A&W Isn't like a mcdonalds or starbucks where there's like one on every street corner so forgetting them isn't some impossibility

Uhh, no. Not everywhere. My closest one is an hour drive away. I've been twice. Like 10 years ago.

There is a A&W in my hometown that is still active and it was built sometime in the 50s. Still has car hops and all that jazz.

Hell A&W started not far from my hometown back in like 1919 or something.
