I've just crossed from the West Coast to Wpg. and back. A&W's in lots of places. I prefer their burger and fries to MacD's. However, the truth is, on this trip, never ate there once. Lots of competition with better food. The local ones are all rather scruffy, down-at-the-heel. Nothing wrong with them but just seem very down market. No draw for kids or teenagers. Mostly I see poorly paid workers, not well off retirees, playing cards and having coffee. At one time they were an in place. Drive in cachet. That's gone. They need to reinvent themselves. New image. Like I said, I prefer them to MacD. but MacD.is putting money into new bldgs.,new image, new advert. to capture the kiddies who get the parents to bring them. They might be fine. But I have real questions about all the food/restaurant companies. Watched too many of them go through the cycle from opening to closing. Hard to capture and hold the clientele. We're all so fickle. The one place they seem to be doing well is in the mall food fairs but, of course, the costs are very high. It'd be interesting to see their books for a mall operation. Still, they've been around for a long time.
