A&W Has Opened in Jurong Point with Long Queues

While German Shepherds can easily sniff out drugs several kilometres away, they have nothing on Singaporeans when it comes to detecting a new fast-food restaurant.

When our noses start tingling and our mouths start watering uncontrollably, we know that somewhere in the country, a new fast-food place has opened up.

Once we’re aware of this fact, we’ll immediately dart over to the eatery, even if we’re naked in the shower, asleep, or unconscious.

And since every Singaporean was born with this gift, long queues usually form outside these establishments.

Yesterday, unsurprisingly, was no different.

A&W Has Opened in Jurong Point with Long Queues

On Friday (5 Feb), fast-food favourite A&W opened its newest outlet at Jurong Point.

Though A&W has three other outlets in the country, long queues were seen outside the eatery in the mall.

Yes, even during a pandemic, even when community infections are on the rise, Singaporeans still can’t resist queueing outside a new fast-food restaurant. 

As a result, the eatery was packed.

Here are some pictures taken by Facebook Page Singapore Atrium Sale.

What’s more, the dine-in queue reportedly extended all the way across the bridge connecting the two rows of shops across each other.

The outlet is located at #03-42 and is open from 10am to 10pm daily.

What’s On the Menu?

According to a photo shared on Facebook, the menu appears to be same as the one offered in A&W’s other three outlets.

Their signature Coney Dogs, for instance, will be on offer.

Additionally, a range of burgers, including cream cheese burgers, double cheeseburgers, and marina fish sandwiches will be available too.

And those with a sweet tooth can dig into some good old waffles with ice-cream or indulge in sundaes.

Of course, no meal at A&W is complete without their towering Root Beer floats.

Things You May Not Know About A&W

A&W seems to hold a special place in Singaporeans’ hearts, but do you know why?

This may be because A&W was the first fast food chain to set up here, unbeknownst to many.

Established in 1968, it preceded current fast food giants like McDonald’s (1979) and KFC (1977).

It left Singaporeans in 2003 due to a decline in sales, as many other fast-food competitors had sprung up.

Now that they’re back, however, there’s no indication that they’re having trouble finding customers.

And Singaporeans will surely do everything in their power to make the beloved fast-food eatery stick around for as long as possible.
