A&W Restaurants, Inc.
 PROFILE
A&W Restaurants is a legend in root beer. With more than 1,000 units (about 710 US units are franchised) in 18 countries, A&W sets up shop today in a variety of formats, including free-standing, food court, and co-branded units. A&W offers fast-food items such as hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, and root beer floats. It also threw its net into the fast-food sea and bought the 1,247-unit Long John Silver's chain (LJS) in 1999. Following the purchase of LJS, A&W chairman and CEO Sidney Feltenstein created a holding company, Yorkshire Global Restaurants, to serve as a parent for both chains. (Cadbury Schweppes owns the A&W trademark and makes A&W Root Beer for home consumption.)
