The Story of Stewart's Drinks

How Stewart's Began

Stewart's sodas are like a trip back in time! They started as "old-fashioned" drinks served at Stewart's Restaurants. This was a chain of root beer stands. Frank Stewart opened the first one in 1924. It was in Mansfield, Ohio.

Growing Bigger

In 1990, a company called Cable Car Beverage Corporation bought the rights to bottle Stewart's drinks. This meant they could put the sodas into bottles for stores. In 1992, new flavors were added. These included Cream Soda and Ginger Beer. More flavors have joined the lineup since then.

New Owners Over Time

In November 1997, Triarc bought Cable Car Beverage Corporation. Then, in 2000, a big company called Cadbury Schweppes PLC took over the Stewart's brands. They also bought other popular brands like Snapple. This deal was worth a lot of money! Today, Stewart's is part of Keurig Dr Pepper.

What the Bottles Look Like

Stewart's drinks usually come in cool glass bottles. Each bottle holds 12 fl. oz., which is about 355 ml. They have twist-off tops, making them easy to open. Some bottles are a pretty amber color, while others are clear.
