A & W Restaurants
A & W Restaurants was founded in 1923 in California. This chain was mainly known for its draft root beer, root beer floats, and burgers. Before it was even founded, this restaurant began as a roadside drink stand that offered a new thick and creamy drink, root beer. This stand was set up by Roy Allen in 1919, who later hired Frank Wright to help him found their very first restaurant in Sacramento, California, in 1923. The name was taken from the initials of the partners’ last names – Allen and Wright. Ever since, the company became famous in the United States for its “frosty mugs”. The mugs would be kept in the freezer and eventually get filled with A&W Root Beer before being served to customers.
