Are there any A&W rootbeer stands left anywhere?

Yes! there are several!

There is one at 7885 U.S. Highway 2

Iron River, WI 54847 USA

another in Lodi, CA - that's the town where the first one was opened.

A&W Root Beer of Lodi

216 E. Lodi Ave.

Lodi CA. 95240

209-368-8548

you can find an A& W at http://www.awrestaurants.com/ top right or at the bottom, put in a state or zip code.

They also have them in Canada.

A&W used to be owned by Yum! Brands. Yum! owned several favorite places: Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Long John Silvers, Wing Street, KFC, A&W... but now it's just KFC, Pizza Hut & Taco Bell. Yum! had put several of these brands together in buildings next to each other, like KFC and Long John Silvers, but they sold off A&W and Long John Silvers - to two separate companies.

As of Dec 2011, A&W is a wholly owned subsidiary of A Great American Brand, LLC.

Yum! also sold off Long John Silvers. They are owned by a different company than A&W.

A&W stands for the two partners - Allen & Wright. They opened the first stand in Lodi, CA in 1919 and decided to call their beverage "A&W".

Yes, they are combined with Long John Silvers

There are two close by here, both combined with Long John Silvers.

There's a combination A&W and KFC down the road from me. Had a chili dog there last week. It was really good. So much chili I had to eat it with a fork.

Yes, we have two stand-alone A&W fast food places in my town. I like them, and get to one of them once every couple weeks.
