Well back then they were all owned by Pepsi, so that makes sense. The crosses now with A&W and LJS are, well, a joy really. Being the only employee with a brain at a KFC/Long John's was not how I enjoyed spending my 2005. There is also a TB/Pizza Hut in my area, but the Pizza selection is fairly scarce and the building itself is Taco Bell.
We haven't had an A&W in my area for around 15 years.
