Haley & Annabelle's Vanilla Root Beer
We are pleased to introduce our new root beer! It's called Haley & Annabelle's Vanilla Root Beer. It is made by my two daughters and me. We will be using the proceeds to pay for their college in the future. (They're only 12 and 7 right now.) We have had a very positive response so far, and a lot of people have commented that it tastes similar to A&W's original, which we will take as a compliment. The vanilla is actual vanilla extract, not artificial extract like some sodas on the market. It makes a really great root beer float.
Karen Herzog did a great article on the girls that ran on the Front page of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Memorial Day 2008. Check it out: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=754876
You can find our root beer at the following locations: JT Interiors in East Troy, Sweeney's Barber Shop in Hales Corners, The Soup Market in Bay View, The Soup & Stock Market at The Public Market Downtown, as well as our new store in Hales Corners.
You can also purchase it directly from us by the case. Please call 414-732-7978 for details.
So far, the girls have sold over 15,000 bottles. We have a long way to go, especially if Haley goes to UCLA! Anna is undecided as of right now.
The girls received their first celebrity endorsement: Mr. Warren Buffet, the Oracle of Omaha, and the richest man on the planet currently, sent them a signed letter in June congratulating them on their business and wishing them luck. He happens to be a big fan of root beer. Not bad for a couple of kids!
