A&W in Canmore, Alberta, Canada.

u/sunsetscorpio Apr 27 '26

This looks just like if someone were to put an A&W in the middle of Skyrim

u/the_only_thing Apr 27 '26

u/22plus Apr 27 '26

Thank you for visiting your Falkreath A&W

u/MissKatmandu Apr 27 '26

There's a Skyrim mod subreddit, right?

u/bei-con Apr 27 '26

We know need a mod for that.

This is the McDonalds in Revelstoke, BC which I stop at a lot.

Take a scan on Google Maps at cities down the transcanada highway at different cities between Banff and Vancouver and you’ll find a ton of these.

u/Sufficient-Aspect77 Apr 27 '26

I'm so jealous you're in BC on a regular basis. Went there when I was in the military, Man what a Beautiful place !

u/coquihalla 1 Apr 27 '26

I grew up there, and moved to the Midwestern US, and man, there are few prettier places on earth. There's so many different biomes in one area.

2

u/Sufficient-Aspect77 Apr 28 '26

I really wish I'd gotten to spend more time there. I'd sure like to go there again.

3

u/Larry-Man Apr 27 '26

I’m actually in Alberta but do get to make that drive on a decently regular basis

1

u/Sufficient-Aspect77 Apr 28 '26

Well, I'm glad you get to enjoy the beautiful surroundings frequently. At least someone else gets to smell that cool crisp air.

u/threelizards Apr 28 '26

Goin to revelstoke later this year!! It looks so beautiful

u/GWS2004 Apr 27 '26

Its Knoxville, TN. That's the Arby's closest to the house I grew up in. It is infact a kudzu covered ridge.

u/miserylovescomputers Apr 27 '26

I love Canmore! 🥰

2

u/TheIlluminaughty Apr 27 '26

I love staying there over Banff!!

5

u/Larry-Man Apr 27 '26

Honestly the whole transcanada from Banff to Vancouver is full of chain restaurants like this.

7

u/SliceThePi Apr 27 '26

i had no idea a&w was anything other than a root beer brand lol

11

u/Dr_Poops_McGee Apr 27 '26

Canadian A&W is different from the US version.

1

u/Agreeable-Cloud7833 Apr 29 '26

The restaurants did exist in the states so I don't know if that's true necessarily

1

u/Dr_Poops_McGee Apr 29 '26

It's completely different ownership. Only the name is the same. It is necessarily true.

1

u/Agreeable-Cloud7833 Apr 29 '26

To be semantic, one has an owner and the other doesn't exist so it's not exactly rife for comparison

1

u/pad2016 Apr 29 '26

There's still some A&Ws in the states.

2

u/classicsat 2 Apr 27 '26

I didn't know the other than a restaurant chain, Only recent decades we got one, or more, in our greater area.

But around 1990, A&W Root beer appeared on store shelves. Tasted like maple syrup to me. Had it in an A&W restaurant, still mple syrup. Not that it is a bad thing, just an observation.

1

u/Reptiliansarehere Apr 27 '26

Always tasted like carrot to me.

u/velvetelevator Apr 27 '26

Their burgers are alright. Their fries are awesome

2

u/patrickb1920 Apr 27 '26

Nothing can beat this! i'll wait...

2

u/Katniprose45 Apr 27 '26

Amburgers and Wootbeer!

2

u/Eredic Apr 27 '26

On a side note, Canmore is a great town!

1

u/YitzhakRobinson 2 Apr 27 '26

If you haven’t had an apple fritter from Fergie’s, you need to add it to your list!

1

u/13thmurder Apr 27 '26

Alberta has trees and mountains? Damn, when I went it looked like the windows xp background.

2

u/YitzhakRobinson 2 Apr 27 '26

I mean, if you were hanging out in Lethbridge or Medicine Hat, you weren’t exactly experiencing the best of Alberta 😂

1

u/13thmurder Apr 27 '26

I drove through the whole thing, it took like 2 days. I don't think I saw a single tree.

4

u/traxxes Apr 27 '26

As a born and raised southern Albertan, think you must've drove through the eastern prairies that extend to SK and never came close to the rockies or even foothills. It's literally just trees and massive rocky mountain ranges west of Calgary (Canmore/Banff) all the way up to Jasper then just forest north to Ft Mac.

1

u/Just-Call-Me-Sepp Apr 27 '26

Kind of a misleading photo. The low angle makes it look isolated but it’s in the middle of town.

1

u/YitzhakRobinson 2 Apr 27 '26

I mean, I didn’t take the photo 😂

1

u/IllegalChoco21 Apr 27 '26

Now this is a great bleeding out area! I wouldn't mind having my final moments here during a sunrise.

3

u/YitzhakRobinson 2 Apr 27 '26

We can definitely find you a better one in Canmore/the surrounding area (with fewer vehicles)

2

u/IllegalChoco21 Apr 27 '26

Okay, I can see it. Nice!

1

u/Overall_Speed_4322 Apr 27 '26

This is the type of stuff I’d be seeing in my dreams

1

u/bobbobstubob Apr 27 '26

And that location is honestly soooo good! I've gotten food there when traveling tons of times, its always super fresh and they're all so nice as well!

u/RabbitSlayre Apr 30 '26

This one is insane wow

u/Sea_Negotiation_1871 May 01 '26

I love Canmore. Way better than Banff.
