On June 20, 1919, a humble little root-beer stand opened on a hot day in Lodi, California. Roy W. Allen’s frosty beverage, sold for a nickel a frosty mug, would become the foundation of the A&W root beer chain of restaurants. A plaque in Lodi marks the occasion.
How much is that in today's money? 88 cents.
