What's always interesting to me is that in Canada, A&W is almost "premium" fast food. More expensive than the competition, and generally better quality.
They also advertise a lot of "no hormones, grass-fed, cruelty-free, local farmers" etc in their advertising. And they were the first big company to sell the "Beyond Burger."
Seems really different than the American version.
- ecf 5y agoI don’t know of a single A&W around where I live that isn’t an addon to a more popular chain like KFC. It almost seems like corporate wants it to be an afterthought in America with cheap vibes attached to the brand. Whatever their plan is, as you mentioned the brand doesn’t resonate well with Americans.
