"With Q2 2026 Same Store Sales Growth(i) of 2.1%, we delivered our strongest quarterly Same Store Sales Growth in over two years, demonstrating the strength of A&W's menu innovation and marketing. The success of our national smash-style burger promotion was the primary driver of this performance, increasing both guest counts and average cheque and contributing to our System Sales Growth(i) of 3.9% for the quarter," said Susan Senecal, President and CEO. "Our bottom line results this quarter also reflect the impact of hosting our biennial A&W National Convention, which brought our franchisee community together and, as expected, created a temporary increase in our general and administrative expenses. We are also thrilled to have reached an important milestone in our Pret A Manger expansion, having opened our first franchised Pret shop at Vancouver International Airport on June 12th," added Ms. Senecal. "We have secured additional leases and are actively pursuing new sites in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal, and expect to have three to four franchised Pret locations open by the end of the year."
