A&W Restaurants - Canada. The first Canadian A&W restaurant was opened in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1956. The Canadian division of A&W was sold to Unilever in 1972, and no longer has any other relation to the American chain.

Within the United States, fast-food restaurants have been losing market share to so-called fast casual restaurants, which offer somewhat better and more expensive foods. In 2002, the McDonald's Corporation posted its first quarterly loss. With this cultural shift toward healthier, better quality foods, McDonald's and Burger King most notably have begun to move toward selling healthier alternatives such as salads and deli-style sandwiches. This is in a dual effort to match the demand of a changing society and to r ...

On February 6, 1980, Gacy's trial began in Chicago. During the trial, he made a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. However, this plea was rejected outright—his lawyer made the claim that Gacy had moments of temporary insanity at the time of each individual murder, but before and afterwards, somehow regained his sanity to properly lure and dispose of victims. Also, Gacy had made an earlier confession to police, and was unable to have this pulled as evidence. ...

Terminal 2 formerly served domestic and international flights in one relatively compressed terminal. That stress is now being taken more and more by Terminal 1. Eventually, Terminal 2 m ...

Bien Hoa grew into a major suburb of Saigon (later renamed Ho Chi Minh City) as the capital city of South Vietnam grew. Following the First Indochina War, tens of thousands of refugees from northern and central regions of Vietnam—a large portion of them Roman Catholics—resettled in Bien Hoa. During the Vietnam War, the United States military operated a major combat air base in Bien Hoa. Nonetheless, a significant portion of the city's residents sympathized with or were members of the Viet Cong, and mortar attacks on U.S. and ARVN targets were frequently staged fro ...

Sanrio was founded in 1960 as the Yamanashi Silk Center Co., by Mr. Shintaro Tsuji. Tsuji was a government official of Yamanashi Prefecture. Silk was the main production of Yamanashi. Yamanashi Silk Center Co. began as a silk trader but Tsuji soon found that cute prints helped sales pick up and so decided to change the focus of his company. The 1960s was a time of great economic growth in Japan, and miscellaneous cheap goods were the main exports of the time. The success of Yamanashi Silk Center Co. was supported by this trend. However, the company's name did not stand out amongst competitors when it began shipping abroad, and so Tsuji r ...

Like a mobile home, a diner is narrow and elongated to allow roadway transport (in the case of a diner, to the restaurant's ultimate location). A service counter dominates the interior, with a preparation area against the back wall and floor-mounted stools for the customers in front. Larger models may have a row of booths against the front wall and at the ends. The decor varied over time. Diners of the 1920s–1940s feature Art Deco elements or copy the appearance of rail dining cars (Some are, in fact, refurbished rail cars). Those of the 1950s use stainl ...

In television and cinema (e.g. The Iron Giant), diners and soda fountains symbolize the period of prosperity and optimism in the United States of the 1950s. They are shown as the place where teenagers meet after school and as an essential part of a date. The diner's cultural influence continues today. Many non-manufactured restaurants (including franchises like Denny's) have copied the look of 1950s diners for nostalgic appeal, while Waffle House ...
