A&W Restaurants Company Description
The old-fashioned root beer stand lives on thanks to this business. A subsidiary of fast-food giant YUM! Brands, A&W Restaurants franchises more than 650 quick-service restaurants in the US and 10 other countries offering hamburgers, hot dogs, onion rings, and fries, along with its signature root beer. In addition to its chain of traditional drive-up and dine-in units, there are more than 600 additional A&W locations that are co-branded with sister chains KFC and Taco Bell. A handful of restaurants are corporate-owned. A&W traces its roots back to a California root beer stand business started by Roy Allen in 1919.
