PETALING JAYA, July 20 — A&W Malaysia is set to take diners on a trip down memory lane with its latest outlet featuring the ambiance of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s.

Now open at Petaling Jaya’s Seventeen Mall in Section 17, it’s also the iconic fast food eatery’s 49th outlet and the retro theme is a perfect way of commemorating A&W as the first fast food restaurant to open in Malaysia back in 1963.

The latest outlet was built at an RM1 million investment and is the first of its kind in the country, featuring a contemporary interpretation of chic retro design, replete with Instagrammable booths and bar seats.

There’s also a jukebox to put diners in the right mood.

The new retro store can accommodate more than 80 customers at any given time and has a private dining area that sits up to 20 people for special functions such as birthdays or parties.

“We are excited to bring this new retro concept A&W,” A&W Malaysia chief executive officer George Ang said in a press release.

“Since 1963, Malaysians have grown up with the brand, having come to love our iconic menu items including our flavourful Coneys, tantalising waffles and refreshing A&W RB (root beer).”

He added that in recent times, the fast food establishment’s newer offerings such as the Mozza Burger and A&W Aroma Chicken have also been a hit with Malaysians.

“This reflects our continued commitment to customers, which is demonstrated with this new retro concept store.

“We wanted to bring back the ‘good old days’ while at the same time cater to a younger and modern generation of consumers.

“While the new store will certainly have its unique appeal with the older generation, we believe that even millennials will find this store ‘Instagram worthy’ and truly unique,” Ang said.
