A&W, the fast-food giant cherished by Malaysians since 1963, is ecstatic to unveil its 100th store in the lively Sierra Fresco neighbourhood mall nestled in the flourishing township of 16 Sierra, Puchong South. This impressive achievement coincides with the company’s 60th anniversary in Malaysia, amplifying the importance of this landmark event.
A Nostalgic Twist to the Dining Experience
The new A&W branch in Sierra Fresco has been conceptualised around a vibrant American diner theme, presenting a unique retro-inspired ambience. Patrons in and around the area can experience a journey back in time while enjoying a blend of their favourite classic dishes and updated culinary delights designed to appeal to a modern audience.
Embracing the Future with Technology and Innovation
While honouring its rich history, A&W is also committed to embracing progress. In a first for any A&W restaurant in Malaysia, the 100th outlet features self-ordering kiosks that enable customers to customise and order their meals seamlessly. Enhancing the dessert experience, the outlet also introduces a dedicated in-house dessert bar, serving a variety of mouth-watering delights, including the popular waffles and ice-cream.
