A Bit of A&W’s History
A&W has a long and interesting history! It all began in 1919, over 100 years ago, at a simple root beer stand in Lodi, California. The founders were Roy W. Allen and Frank Wright. Their root beer, known for being creamy and bubbly, was a big success! They took their initials, A for Allen and W for Wright, and created the now-famous A&W brand. Over time, A&W became well-known for its delicious root beer and its history as one of the very first fast food chains in the United States, with locations across the country.
The popularity of their root beer led them to open their first official restaurant in 1923, just a few years after their initial success. This restaurant introduced food alongside its famous drink, and the A&W we know today with its burgers and fries began to take shape. Another important part of A&W’s journey is its early adoption of franchising. This means they allowed other restaurants to operate under the A&W name, which helped spread their delicious root beer and food across the country. Thanks to their early ideas and tasty treats, A&W became a well-recognized American brand.
