Additional Description: The original A&W stand at 13 West Pine Street was open less than five years, but by then A&W had already expanded to a number of other locations in California. This A&W is located at 216 East Lodi Street (about 6 blocks from the original A&W location), and was opened in 1954. There are currently more than 1,200 A&W restaurants throughout the world. In addition to being the closest to the original location, this restaurant also has the distinction of housing one of the largest collections of A&W memorabilia in the world.
