National Root Beer Float Day

Long John Silvers/A&W

1180 S Babcock St., Melbourne, FL

 

Originally opened as a Long John Silvers restaurant in 1976. Sometime in the 2000's an A&W was added here and the building was given some minor renovations.

 

I found out that today was National Root Beer float day. Apparently as a form of celebration, all A&W restaurants across the country were giving away free small root beer floats to everyone who stopped in today (which you can see on all the signage in this photo). As for the road sign, the letterboard and 'Drive Thru' signs are probably original to the building, however the old LJS sign was replaced when A&W took over half the building.
