What do the "A" and "W" in A&W Root Beer stand for?

• Allen & Wright:In 1919, Roy W. Allen opened a roadside root beer stand in Lodi, California, using a formula that he had purchased from a pharmacist. The following year, Allen teamed up with Frank Wright and combined their initials to create the A&W brand. In 1924, Allen bought Wright out of the business and began selling restaurant franchises — creating one of the first restaurant chains in the United States. It is a popular misconception that the initials were derived from Alice and J. Willard Marriott. This mistake stems from the fact that Marriott's first business, was an A&W franchise he purchased in Washington, D.C.
