Greetings from the Great Root Bear®……and your friends at A&W® Restaurants. Welcome to the May edition of our e-mail newsletter, Bear Tales.In this issue, you'll read about: |
Great Floats at a Great Price
What's better than a frosty A&W Root Beer Float? How about a frosty A&W Root Beer Float for only 99 cents? Through May 29, you can purchase a famous A&W Root Beer Float for only 99 cents (plus tax) at any participating A&W® All American Food® Restaurant. |
Second Annual Root Beer Float DayOkay, there may be one thing better than a frosty A&W Root Beer Float for only 99 cents: a frosty A&W Root Beer Float for free.On Monday, June 20, A&W Restaurants across the country will be celebrating our second annual Free Float Day. Stop by your favorite A&W Restaurant, order anything (really, anything at all) and you'll get a free regular A&W Root Beer Float (at participating locations). It's as simple as that. Last year's first annual Float Day was a tremendous success. In fact, it was so much fun, we brought it back for a return engagement. Be sure to mark Monday, June 20 on your calendar. And watch your hometown newspaper a few days before Root Beer Float Day for great coupon offers from A&W Restaurants. (The flyer will be easy to spot; it looks like a giant Root Beer Float.) |
You Asked for Them, You Got Them A&W limited-edition collectible mugs will again be available this summer. The 2005 version of the famous A&W icon features a great, full-color rendering of the Great Root Bear® (blush) and is embossed with the year. A limited number were produced and they will not be re-issued, so don't miss out.
Be sure to visit your hometown A&W Restaurant and pick up your collectible mug this summer. Mugs should be available in our restaurants by early July. If you don't live near an A&W restaurant, visit www.awrestaurants.com for information on how to order your collectible mug. Information will be included in the "merchandise" section of the web page beginning in July. |
