Halfway through 2021, A&W had awarded eight units and received commitment for 14 restaurants, putting the brand on track to reach its 2021 franchise sales goal of 20 new restaurants by the end of the year, according to a press release.

"Our development team and our dedicated franchisees did a great job facing the challenges of the pandemic and seeing exceptional growth despite all of the uncertainty COVID-19 brought to the restaurant industry," Kevin Bazner, A&W CEO, said in the release. "We've seen tremendous growth over the past year alone because of our commitment to seeing our franchisees succeed."

That growth includes welcoming four franchisees into the brand's system in Q2, as well as acknowledging four existing franchisees' decisions to expand with the brand and invest in another location.

A&W operates 500-plus locations across the country.
