A & W and Wendy's are two of the leading fast food restaurants in the world today. Both restaurants have thousands of locations across the globe and serve millions of people each day. Aside from the difference in their menus, both company's have unique backgrounds. Each company comes from their own time and place in the history of restaurants. .
The A & W legally began much before Wendy's. Ray Allen from Lodi, California, mixed up his first batch of root beer and sold it for five cents. A few years later he took on a partner, Frank Wright, and using the first initial of each of their last names, the company was named A & W. Wendy's was founded by Dave Thomas in 1968, much later than A & W. When Mr. Thomas opened his first family hamburger restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, he was so obsessed with quality, he put the phrase "Quality is our Recipe" on the logo.
Surprisingly both A & W and Wendy's have a background in the creation of the drive thru restaurant. The first drive thru was introduced in 1922 when Ray Allen and Frank Wright opened up their second A & W location where you could be served from your car by "tray boys", who would run back and forth taking your order and delivering your food to the car window. Many years later in 1970 Wendy's opened up their first drive thru with its own separate grill and pick up window. To this day Wendy's is credited with inventing the first modern day drive thru.
Although A & W began much earlier than Wendy's it progressed at a much slower pace. It took A & W approximately 26 years to open 500 restaurants whereas Wendy's had opened the same number of restaurants in 8 years. To this day the Wendy's fast food chain expands across the globe at a much faster pace than A & W Restaurants. A & W might be lagging in the expansion of restaurants but their trademark root beer is the number one selling root beer in the world, all thanks to Ray Allen and Frank Wright.
