One of a thousand outlets in Canada

The Merritt A&W is a place of pride the Canadian fast food outlet is one of a thousand and is proud of its grass fed Alberta Beef use. As well it encourages “beyond meat” a plant meat substitute that is on its menu. Buddy burgers come up with divergent cuisine from time to time and wether mushrooms or spice the entry of your palette is your buddies concern.

The Merritt A&W has its reno more or less completed a table for higher seating remains to be placed. However it has the sense of completion and permanence now. The brew bar offers many beverage choices with your meal addressed on a family structure theme.

Allen and Wright

The A&W franchise in Canada traces its roots back to the partnership of Roy Allen and Frank Wright, who joined forces in 1922 to create the A&W brand, with the initials standing for their last names. The first A&W root beer stand was opened that year in California, marking the beginning of the franchise’s journey. The Canadian expansion began in 1956, under the leadership of Canadian entrepreneur Jim Read, and the franchise has since grown to include numerous outlets across the country.
