A & W Rootbeer

In 1919 a young veteran named Roy Allen began a Root Beer stand in Lodi California. In 1922 he brought in a friend named Frank Wright and they opened another stand in Lodi. soon they leased their stands to others to operate and trademarked the new name of A & W from their names and went to Sacramento and began franchising A & W Restaurants. They pioneered restaurant franchising . Our A & W sign came from Helper Utah and is a reminder what a good idea plus hard work and ambition can do. The International franchise is huge!

pegasus Collection

Our Pegasus that stand tall on the East entrance came from Texas and is custom made especially for us. Sparky knew how he wanted it and what he wanted and had him make it for us. Another Pegasus that hangs inside the museum came from a guy that came by our Storage Park and asked if we would be interested in some of his Father In Laws collection who had passed away. He had a cookie cutter Pegasus that we could not pass up along with our 7 up Machine, shell Globe and a few other globes.
