About A&W Restaurants
Iconic American Brand Seeking National Expansion & Anchor Opportunities A&W All American Food, the legendary quick-service restaurant chain known for its signature Root Beer and classic drive-in heritage, is actively pursuing National Expansion with a strategic focus on the Midwest. As a stable and recognizable Anchor Tenant, A&W operates a versatile real estate portfolio that includes freestanding drive-thru models, inline urban locations, and non-traditional captive sites (gas stations, malls, airports). The brand’s "Gen 19" prototype emphasizes a modern 2,600-square-foot footprint optimized for off-premise dining and operational efficiency. A&W is seeking partnerships with landlords and developers to secure high-visibility sites that support Tenant Representation growth goals, bringing a nostalgic yet modernized dining experience to high-traffic trade areas.
