Stoney Bear
Robertsdale, AL
2010: 2019:
The A&W Great Root Bear character was introduced in Canada in 1974. The "Rooty" mascot wasn't used in the U.S. until later. I don't know how many of these statues were made but I don't think A&W is making them anymore. I don't know of any other locations that still have these. There is or was a similar statue in Bangkok, Thailand. [Lancaster map]; [Neillsville map]

A modern statue in Mentone was installed around 2019. I believe these are still being produced and there are others around the country. [map]

Stoney Bear is a repainted A&W Great Root Bear statue. It stood in front of Stoneworks, a building materials business. The business was closed by 2016. Stoney is a little dirty now but he's still there. [map]
