Our Partners
Marriott International begins as an A&W Root Beer franchise in Washington, D.C., in May 1927, with the same core values that guide the company today. Founders J. Willard and Alice Sheets Marriott get their business started by quenching people’s thirst during the hot, muggy summers in Washington, D.C., before serving food and becoming The Hot Shoppes, and entering other lines of business. Heralding in a new era in 2016, Marriott International acquires Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide creating the world’s largest hotel company. There is a celebration in New York City’s Time Square.
