The land value of the restaurant's site has appreciated so much so that the current owners now want to demolish the historical building, build a large commercial complex and retrofit a drive-in A&W into the new building. But it will not be the same for tens of thousands (perhaps millions) of people who have fond memories and life's milestones with the A&W "tent". This petition calls for the prevention of the demolition of the original building, even if other development by its owners can take place around it.
