The legendary A&W fried chicken restaurant chain is to close on March 20 after almost four decades, after its SET-listed parent Global Consumer Plc (Glocon) threw in the towel because of accumulated losses and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
A sales representative at an A&W restaurant in a Bangkok petrol station, who asked not to be named, said the company had informed A&W's staff in advance about its closure, with compensation paid in accordance with labour laws.
