Man, we had a ton of fun at the A & W in the 70s. Loved cruising 8th street

OMG -- how awesome it is to see Peter and the other iconic restaurateurs of Saskatoon! Fuddruckers was a marvelous experience for me when Peter hired me right out of Hotel & Restaurant Management school in 1985. Opening the Saskatoon location and seeing it thriving after 33 years is utterly heartwarming. I sure do miss him. My best to you, Sabrina. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for sharing this. It brings back lots of great memories, growing up in Saskatoon. After all these years, I still miss the A & W drive-ins.

What a blast from the past. I wonder if anyone remembers Scotty's , the home of the 19 cent burger. It didn't last long, but it was part of the mix.

I remember that A&W. Grubie's was before the Granary.

I used to work at the Subway on the corner of 8th & Emerson in that little mini mall, it opened in 1990 but it operated half the building the other half was operated by a Fas Gas Station and then Fas Gas closed in 2010 if I remember correctly and the Subway now inherited the whole building in i believe 2011 & now added a drive through it is across the street from the A&W to the west and next door to the Pink Cadillacs to the east and in front of the TacoTime to the south across the street from the Co,Op home centre

No mention of JD's. restaurant and car hop place , My first job, Thanks to Crones, family

Does anyone remember "Dog 'N Suds" ... It was quite near where A & W is/was. Also loved Fuddruckers, but that was much later. Those were the days to cruise !!! Miss that all now and it is too bad!!

Seeing that McDonalds Pizza makes me salivate.

Lloyd Quist did not get much mention, it was his standards and constant management style that really moved the A & W in Saskatoon.
