'''Stewart's Fountain Classics''' is an American brand of premium [[soft drink]]s.

== History ==
Stewart's are nostalgic "old fashioned" fountain sodas, having originated at the [[Stewart's Restaurants]], a chain of root beer stands started in 1924 by Frank Stewart in [[Mansfield, Ohio]]. In 1990, the [[bottle|bottling]] rights to Stewart's were acquired by the Cable Car Beverage Corporation. Cream Soda and Ginger Beer [[Flavor (taste)|flavor]]s were introduced in 1992. Other flavors have been added since then. In November 1997 Cable Car Beverage Corporation was purchased by Triarc.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.answers.com/topic/triarc-companies-inc?cat=biz-fin |title=Hoover's Profile: Triarc Companies, Inc |website=[[Answers.com]] |access-date=2008-06-18 }}</ref> [[Cadbury|Cadbury Schweppes]] PLC acquired the Stewart's brands in 2000 along with [[Snapple]] and Mistic Brands for $1.45 billion.<ref name="nyt">{{cite news |first=Laura M. |last=Holson |title=Cadbury to Pay $1.45 Billion for Snapple |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9805EEDC163BF93BA2575AC0A9669C8B63 |work=The New York Times |date=2000-09-18 |access-date=2008-06-18 }}</ref>
