A&W Food Services of Canada Inc. announced Thursday its financial results for the 12 and 24-week periods ended June 15, 2025.
“We are pleased to report a stronger second quarter for A&W,” said Susan Senecal, Chief Executive Officer. “We successfully opened 4 new restaurants and achieved 3.4% System Sales Growth and Same Store Sales Growth of 1.6%. The growth in Same Store Sales was driven by increases in both average check and guest counts, reflecting the success of our marketing campaigns, including a two-week Canada-wide Teen Burger promotion.
“We continue to be pleased with the performance of our value offerings and marketing initiatives, which have effectively appealed to the needs of our guests today. A significant highlight of the quarter was the launch of A&W Rewards, our new loyalty program, on April 22nd.
