About A&W: Established in 1919 in Lodi, California as a roadside stand, A&W Restaurants now stands as a thriving part of the American experience. With 500-plus locations across the country, including 300 standalone restaurants, the brand remains a one-of-a-kind true original.

Today, that traditional approach is resonating strongly with consumers, who are looking for authentic brands.
