A&W Restaurants, a name synonymous with root beer and classic American fast food, began its journey in 1919 when Roy W. Allen set up a roadside root beer stand in Lodi, California. This venture, initially a simple setup to sell a homemade root beer recipe, evolved significantly when Allen partnered with Frank Wright in 1922, blending their initials to brand the business as A&W. This collaboration not only expanded their root beer’s reach but also introduced a novel concept of drive-in restaurants, making A&W a pioneer in franchising in the United States.
Over the years, A&W has adapted to changing dietary preferences, including offering gluten-free options to cater to customers with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Their commitment to inclusivity in their menu ensures that more people can enjoy their offerings without concern, embodying the brand’s enduring appeal across different customer segments.
