With a development permit issued May 15, franchisee McMurray Group sees clear sailing ahead

It has been well over a decade since the prospect of an A&W restaurant for Prince Rupert first surfaced, but the “home of the burger family,” is once again hoping to drop anchor on the North Coast.“So, in the past, we’ve had some issues trying to get into Prince Rupert,” said Jon McMurray, a partner in the company and vice president of growth and reimaging.

The development permit is just one step, though. They will still have to jump through all the environmental, engineering and Ministry of Transportation hoops so they can apply for a building permit.“We would have liked to have been there a couple of years ago, so we’re just trying to get there as fast as we possibly can,” he said.

More recently, in 2018, a partnership with Pollyco, owners of the Rupert Square Mall, to locate the franchise in the upper mall parking lot, also failed to satisfy city zoning requirements and by the spring of 2019, that plan had also run its course.
