About this listen

As consumers emerge into the vaccine era, A&W is seeing the 96 convenience store units, of 900 restaurants, begin to perform well compared to other traditional and co-brand locations, CEO Kevin Bazner said. “We're starting to see that flip this year as people are moving around more,” he said. Many of the A&W c-store units are in travel plazas. As the brand emerges from the pandemic, Bazner said it is keeping an eyes on development costs. “Material cost, particularly lumber, has spiked,” he said. “Indicators today are that that's going to start to temper later in the summer as a supply catches up with demand.”
