My other favorite example of this is the A&W Restaurants which in the states was a bit more of a fast food establishment. It was never that successful, but you'd see them every so often. Gone now in the states, but I believe its Canadian successor is still going strong.
- natebc 1y agoThere's still quite a few A&W restaurants around in the US though they are rareish. https://awrestaurants.com/locations-list/ https://awrestaurants.com/locations-list/ 400+ according to their wikipedia entry.
- bombcar 1y agoA&W is exceptionally rural now, and I'm not 100% sure why - it's a weird combination of fast food (drive thru) + waitress/sit down ordering that doesn't really exist anywhere else (kind of how there are a few carhop/drive UP restaurants that still exist).
- lupusreal 1y agoThe Canadian A&Ws are very good as far as fast food burger joints go. The American version is quite shitty though, last time I saw one years ago.
- jasona123 1y agoCanadian A&W is expensive though - like "only really go for a treat" expensive. Made McDicks somehow more reasonable.
- Washuu 1y agoThere are bunch of A&W restaurants in Okinawa as well and as far as I know, it's popular.
