A&W Root Beer Owns a Couple of Interesting "Firsts" in the American History
A&W Root Beer owns a couple of interesting "firsts" in American history. Not only was one A&W location a drive-in long before any other restaurant (and before most people even owned cars) but A&W was also one of, if not THE first fast food restaurants to build their chain through franchising.
A&W Beginnings
Some time in the "teens", Roy Allen, a refurbish-er of old hotels (seriously), met a pharmacist (whose name is lost to history) who had perfected a recipe for making root beer.
Root beer is called "beer" because until this time it had been brewed --like beer. True root beer still is. If you ever get the chance to try some, do not pass it up.
But this pharmacist had created a recipe to "make" root beer -- a practice still used by all soft drink manufacturers.
It is also interesting to note that almost all of the early soft drinks were created by pharmacists. Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper and Pepsi were are created in drug stores.
Anyway, Allen bought the root beer recipe and on June 20, 1919, opened a stand in Lodi, California ("Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.")
He offered frosty mugs of root beer for a nickel.
His first stand was a success and in short order, he opened stands in Stockton and Sacramento. One of these may have been a drive-in. In 1919!
Putting the A & W in A&W
In 1920, Frank Wright, became Allen's partner and they combined their initials to form A&W Root Beer.
Additional A&W stands were soon opened throughout California, Utah, and Texas. After Allen bought out Wright he conceived of the idea of franchising to grow the company and thus became one of if not the first fast food franchise operations.
A&W Today
A&W is owned by YUM Brands of Louisville, KY a division of PepsiCo.
Today A&W has more than 1000 restaurants and 120+ joint establishments with Long John Silver's and KFC, also owned by YUM.
