In a new promotion, popular casual dining brand A&W announced they are giving away root beer floats for life, free of charge, to people over the age of 100.
Yes – you read that correctly. Though A&W is known for some pretty good deals, such as giving customers free root beers each year in celebration of their birthday, the brand has never brought out such an unusual offering.
A&W is celebrating its 150th birthday, making it America’s oldest franchised restaurant chain. The brand’s history dates back to 1919, when one of the founding members, Roy Allen, opened one of his very first root beer stands to welcome back veterans from World War 1.
Since then, A&W has solidified its position as one of the most popular casual dining establishments in America.
In order to celebrate the occasion, A&W is giving customers who are over the age of 100 free root beer floats for life. This means that approximately 108,000 Americans who meet the age requirement will be able to take advantage of the new deal.
