A&W® Restaurants Celebrate National Root Beer Float Day

August 1, 2025 By Guest Contributor

 

A&W® Restaurants

A&W® Restaurants, America’s oldest franchised restaurant chain known for its signature Root Beer and All-American menu, is proud to continue its longstanding tradition of celebrating National Root Beer Float Day while supporting DAV (Disabled American Veterans), a nonprofit that empowers veterans and their families by providing critical resources and services.

On National Root Beer Float Day on Wednesday, August 6, A&W Restaurants is once again bringing sweet smiles and heartfelt gratitude to guests. From 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. local time, guests can visit participating A&W locations to enjoy a free small Root Beer Float, made fresh with A&W’s signature Root Beer and rich, creamy vanilla soft serve. No purchase is necessary, and guests of all ages are welcome to join in on the fun.

While the floats are on the house, customers are encouraged to make a voluntary donation to DAV or purchase a commemorative, limited-edition Collector’s Mug. Every dollar raised through donations and mug sales directly benefits veterans and their families, helping them access healthcare, employment assistance, and transportation to medical appointments, among other vital services.

“National Root Beer Float Day is one of our favorite days of the year, because not only do we love putting smiles on our guests’ faces with free treats, but we proudly give back to the people who have bravely served our country,” said Betsy Schmandt, CEO and President of A&W Restaurants. “Thanks to our generous guests and franchise partners, we’ve donated over $1 million to veteran-focused organizations to-date, and this year, we’re aiming to make an even greater impact.”

Through August 6, A&W fans can support DAV with voluntary donations or by purchasing a limited-edition 2025 A&W Collector’s Root Beer Mug for $10 at participating locations, while supplies last. 100% of the proceeds from mug sales will benefit DAV, whose funds provide emergency relief, caregiver support, and advocacy for over one million veterans in local communities across the U.S. This year’s commemorative mug features Rooty the Great Root Bear®, A&W’s beloved mascot. The sturdy glass mug is ideal for keeping your floats frosty long after the celebration ends, perfect for collectors and root beer lovers alike.

A Legacy of Giving
Since launching its annual National Root Beer Float Day celebrations in 2013, A&W Restaurants and its guests have proudly raised over $1 million to support American veterans and their families. This annual tradition is part of the brand’s ongoing commitment to community service and its enduring belief in honoring those who have served, which dates back more than a century.

Join The Celebration
To find a participating A&W location near you and learn more about National Root Beer Float Day and how you can support America’s veterans, visit www.rootbeerfloatday.com or follow A&W on social media at @awrestaurants.

July 30, 2025 By Dayton937

Raspberry fans, rejoice! Starbucks is bringing the sweet and juicy taste of raspberry back in the U.S. for a limited time starting July 29. And fans can experience it in a whole new way with the new Raspberry Cream Cold Brew.

The longtime fan-favorite flavor can be enjoyed as a delicious customization* for a variety of Starbucks beverages and fans can experience it in a whole new way with the new Raspberry Cream Cold Brew. But just like a summer breeze, it won’t last long!

Danielle Paris worked in the Starbucks development kitchen to create this new version of raspberry syrup for its nationwide launch. The new version has the same flavor that customers remember, now with a rich sangria color made from fruits and vegetables.

“For me, raspberry is bright and refreshing, with a wonderful aroma and that sweet/tart flavor that evokes summertime,” she said. “I think it will be a fun way to customize our beverages.”

The team created a new raspberry signature beverage, Raspberry Cream Cold Brew. The rich and refreshing beverage features a frothy layer of raspberry cream cold foam that complements the smooth and bold Starbucks® Cold Brew, sweetened with vanilla syrup.

“The notes of raspberry in our  cold foam perfectly balances the smooth, cocoa flavors of our cold brew, making it a vibrant, flavorful pairing,” Paris said.

Here are a few favorite customizations*.

White Chocolate Mocha with Raspberry Syrup: The juicy raspberry flavors paired with rich and creamy espresso and white chocolate sauce come together for an elegant beverage. Available hot and iced.

Strawberry Acai Refresher with Raspberry Syrup: Sweet strawberry flavors with passionfruit and açaí notes get a rich boost from raspberry syrup, shaken with ice and real strawberry pieces.

Iced Green Tea with Raspberry Syrup: A refreshing combination of raspberry and iced green tea blended with mint, lemongrass and lemon verbena.

*Customizing any beverage with raspberry syrup may incur an additional charge.

The Sweet Retreat Hosts Fundraiser To Bury Hershall Creachbaum

July 23, 2025 By Dayton937

The brother and sister ownership team of The Sweet Retreat were deeply impacted by hearing of the the passing of Hershall Creachbaum, a sweet 7-year-old boy with autism, who was tragically taken from this world.

To honor Hershall’s memory and support his family during this incredibly difficult time, they will be holding a fundraiser next Monday, July 28th. 20% of all sales will be directly donated to help cover his funeral and burial costs. They have spoken with his grandmother, who has graciously given her blessing for this event.
Hershall’s favorite ice cream flavors were vanilla and Superman, so we are adding a special item to our menu in his memory: “Hershall’s Superman Sundae.” This sundae includes layers of Superman and vanilla ice cream, topped with marshmallow, whipped cream, and sprinkles. They hope it brings a little joy as we remember Hershall.
Please join them this upcoming Monday as our community comes together to support Hershall’s family and celebrate the life of a very special little boy. Your support means the world to us and to his loved ones.
