Many people think of A&W as an American chain, but they have been separate companies for many decades. More to the point, they have been an actual Canadian company since 1995.

But their retail rootbeer is made/sold by Coke so in store/other restaurants is different than in restaurant

That’s true but unfortunately they do union busting.

Unfortunately, their food is super unhealthy and not even that cheap compared to local restaurants.

I wouldn’t compare their food with anything else than another burger joint, which, even local, isn’t any healthier.

Well, that's a bit apples and oranges. Local is usually > any corporate chain. And if you care about eating health, maybe avoid fast food of any kind.
