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. In 1922 Allen took on a partner, Frank Wright, an employee from his original Lodi location. The two partners combined their initials - "A" for Allen and "W" for Wright and formally named the beverage A & W Root Beer.

Now more than three-quarters of a century later, Roy Allen's and Frank Wright's caffeine free root beer formula, the authentic Real Draft treat, is the world's number one selling root beer and is still mixed fresh daily and sold at hundreds of A & W restaurants.

Allen purchased the formula for his root beer from a pharmacist in Arizona. To this day, the unique blend of 14 roots, herbs, spices, barks and berries remains a proprietary secret.

So stop by today and visit our location at The Shops at Lexington Center and taste a little history with some A & W All American Food!
