Roy W. Allen (September 30, 1882 – March 26, 1968) was an American entrepreneur who is best known for being a founder and namesake for A&W Root Beer and A&W Restaurants. Allen was born in Illinois in 1882 to a Mr. and Mrs (née Davis) Allen. From there he headed west to California, working as a hotelier. During his time as a hotelier, Allen came across a chemist or pharmacist, while doing business in Arizona. He told Allen that he had allegedly perfected a mix for root beer. Intrigued by the prospect, Allen eventually purchased that recipe. He then opened a stand to sell it at Lodi, California in June 1919, originally charging 5¢.

  • Roy W. Allen (September 30, 1882 – March 26, 1968) was an American entrepreneur who is best known for being a founder and namesake for A&W Root Beer and A&W Restaurants. Allen was born in Illinois in 1882 to a Mr. and Mrs (née Davis) Allen. From there he headed west to California, working as a hotelier. During his time as a hotelier, Allen came across a chemist or pharmacist, while doing business in Arizona. He told Allen that he had allegedly perfected a mix for root beer. Intrigued by the prospect, Allen eventually purchased that recipe. He then opened a stand to sell it at Lodi, California in June 1919, originally charging 5¢. The first mugs of the drinks were sold to returning soldiers from the First World War. During that era, Prohibition had helped the sale of soft drinks across the United States, and Allen found success in his root beer stand. The drink gained the name "A&W Root Beer" in 1922 when an employee of Allen's stand in Stockton, Frank Wright, joined Allen in a partnership. The following year, A&W opened its first drive-in restaurant, located in Sacramento. Though Frank Wright was bought out another year later, the chain of root beer stands retained the same name. In 1925, with restaurants already in California, Texas and Utah, Allen set out to expand and franchise the chain, becoming the first franchise of drive-in restaurants in the United States, with just under 200 locations in the Western and Midwestern United States by 1930. To ensure a consistent product across franchises, Allen used a system where the top-secret root beer concentrate was sold to each franchise owner. By 1941, there were around 260 stands across the United States, though World War II created problems for Allen's chain due to shortages in product and employees, with multiple franchises going out of business. However, as the war came to an end, the chain went on to expand once again. Allen retired in 1950, selling the root beer business to a Nebraskan businessman, Gene Hurtz. He died in 1968. (en)

Apoteker itu berbicara kepada Allen bahwa dirinya memiliki kombinasi campuran yang sempurna untuk root beer. Tergoda oleh prospek, Allen kemudian membeli resep tersebut. Allen kemudian membuka kios untuk menjual minuman tersebut di Lodi, California pada Juni 1919 dengan harga 5 sen. Gelas pertama dijual kepada tentara yang baru pulang dari Perang Dunia I. Saat itu, pelarangan penjualan minuman beralkohol telah mendorong penjualan minuman ringan di seluruh Amerika Serikat, dan Allen meraih sukses pada penjualan root beer. Minuman tersebut menggunakan nama "A&W Root Beer" saat pegawai Allen di Stockton yang bernama Frank Wright bekerja sama kepemilikian dengan Allen. Pada tahun yang sama A&W membuka restoran dengan layanan drive-in pertama yang berlokas di Sacramento. Meskipun kepemilikan Frank Wright dibeli setahun kemudian, waralaba ini tetap menggunakan nama yang sama. Pada 1925, restoran A&W telah buka di California, Texas, dan Utah, Allen mulai memperluas dan menjadikan waralaba restorannya, yang menjadi restoran waralaba drive-in pertama di Amerika Serikat, dengan jumlah dibawah 200 lokasi di bagian barat dan tengah Amerika Serikat pada 1930. Demi menjaga konsistensi produk di waralabanya, Allen menggunakan sistem di mana konsentrat root beer yang rahasia dijual kepada tiap pemilik warabala. Pada 1941, terdapat kurang lebih 260 restoran di seluruh Amerika Serikat, walaupun Perang Dunia II menyebabkan masalah terhadap bisnis waralaba Allen karena kelangkaan produk dan tenaga kerja, dengan beberapa waralaba bangkrut. Tetapi, pasca perang, waralaba ini berkembang sangat pesat. Allen pensiun pada 1950, menjual bisnis root beernya kepada Gene Hurtz, pengusaha asal Nebraskan. Allen wafat pada tahun 1968. (in)
