History

The first Stewart's Drive-In was opened by Frank Stewart in 1924 in Mansfield, Ohio. Stewart, who was also a school teacher, opened up a small stand to make extra money in the summer to accompany his teacher's income.

The restaurant was originally a west coast style fast food eatery serving only root beer and popcorn. He added extra salt to his popcorn to boost his root beer sales. He opened up more locations, most of them with Car hops.
