This year, A&W Restaurants is celebrating their 105th Birthday and they are doing it with Granfluencer, Baddiewinkle along with a great deal for one of the greatest generations. One of America’s oldest franchises starting this month will give anyone over 100 years old a free Root Beer Float for life! When we think about A&W we think of their hotdogs, floats, being outside and enjoying this combo together whether you’re with friends or family and a great sense of nostalgia!
On Jun 20th, 1919 Roy W Allen co-founded and opened his first restaurant in Lodi, California during a homecoming celebration for WWI veterans. All of these years later, the iconic floats continue to be used and enjoyed in their frosty glass mugs. In addition, the brand supports military veterans in its ongoing work with Disabled American Veterans. These free floats for life for centurians represent over 108,000 people in the US and the brand wants to support this generation of people. The brand partnered with 2 people of this group who are both WWII veterans 104 year old Hazel Calloway and 100 year old Glendell Bennett. By partnering with Baddiewinkle who is 95, they can continue to spread their message through her millions of social media as she shows how her personal style and love for life is something that she embraces to the fullest!
Although this social influencer is not of age to partake in this lifetime promotion, those who are qualifying customers can visit any A&W franchise with identification in order to have their Root Beer Float! For those who are over 13 and not 100, you can get a free Root Beer Float every year on your birthday. Of course as we continue to navigate Summer energy, you can enjoy great classics including burgers and cheese curds by joining Rooty’s Mug Club.
