A&W stands for Allen & Wright, the founders of an iconic brand. But it also stands for Root Beer & Burgers. Please & Thank You. Good Food & Good Times. One hot day in June of 1919 in Lodi, California an entrepreneur named Roy Allen mixed up a batch of creamy root beer and sold the first frosty mug of this delightful beverage for one nickel. Now, over ninety years later, A&W Root Beer is the world's number one selling root beer and is still made fresh daily and sold at hundreds of A&W Restaurants. Allen experienced tremendous success and in 1923, joined in partnership with Frank Wright creating the name, A&W. In 1925, A&W began to franchise and by 1933 had over 170 units in the mid-western United States. Today, customers can enjoy A&W Root Beer floats and hamburgers in over 1100 US and international locations.
