Market Impact
Held on 17 December 2025, A&W Malaysia’s “Seasons of Giving” event at Damansara Jaya was more than a celebration: it was an invitation to relive the classic drive-in experience. With more than 100 years of history, A&W has always been more than a fast-food chain; it’s a place where families and friends gather to create lasting memories.
Hosted by Andrew Khoo, Chairman and CEO of MUI Group, and attended by Adam Jang, CEO of A&W Malaysia, the event felt less like a corporate function and more like a warm family gathering. It was also an evening of giving back. During the event, Andrew Khoo and Adam Jang presented a cheque for RM5,000 to a local charity, highlighting the brand’s commitment to the community.
More than nostalgia, the event also served as a soft launch for the return of A&W’s iconic drive-in dining experience. Officially relaunching in mid-December 2025, A&W’s drive-in bays are back and ready to serve.
The newly revived drive-in bays at the restaurant entrance offer a space reserved exclusively for drive-in customers. It’s a throwback to the classic car-side service, where customers can enjoy meals from the comfort of their cars, delivered straight to their vehicle.
Two major menu moments stole the spotlight. First, the long-awaited return of A&W’s Onion Rings. Responding directly to customer demand, the crispy, hand-breaded favourites are back on the menu, paired alongside the iconic Root Beer Float and classic menu items.
Adding to the nostalgic feel, the event also featured limited-edition 100th Anniversary glass mugs, a collector’s item that celebrates A&W’s century-long journey. For many, the sight of the heavy glass mugs was a reminder of childhood birthdays and family outings at A&W.
Beyond food and flair, the evening was about emotions, comfort, and connection. Coffee sessions between invited guests and the team at A&W highlighted the brand’s enduring appeal across generations.
A&W Malaysia’s commitment goes beyond food; it is about building a community. Through events like these and contributions to local causes, the brand continues to play a meaningful role in the lives of many.
The event was also supported by brand partners like Coca-Cola, Mamee, and Kellogg’s, who contributed to the evening’s success with special activations and giveaways, making it an even more memorable experience for everyone involved.
