"Generations of Canadians share fond memories of growing up with our beloved Great A&W Root Bear," says Susan Senecal, CEO of A&W Canada. "Celebrating his 50th golden birthday is a major milestone, and we are so excited to share this occasion with Canadians coast to coast. We look forward to building many more years of fun-filled memories with Rooty."
Starting October 13th, pick up Rooty's Birthday Bundle to start collecting your favourite *stickers at a participating A&W restaurant when you order a Teen Burger, Onion Rings and Root Beer combo for a limited time.
*Stickers are only available with a purchase of the promotion in the restaurant, while supplies last, not valid with other promotions, discounts or third-party delivery and A&W mobile app.
