History

Rachel Marshall, a Whidbey Island resident, started making ginger beer after she was introduced to it in Germany. [3] She returned to Seattle and started selling ginger beer at local farmers' markets and as a stand at Pike Place Market. [4]

Marshall opened a permanent Rachel's Ginger Beer store at Pike Place Market in July 2013 with help from her partner Adam Peters. [5] [6] [3] Marshall was a co-owner of two bars in Seattle with Kate Opatz [3] and named one of 50 "most influential" people in Seattle by Seattle Metropolitan in 2013. [7]

The business began operating on Capitol Hill in 2015, [8] at University Village in the University District in 2017, [9] [10] [11] and in Denny Triangle in 2019. [12] [13] [14] Stacey Rozich, a Seattle based artists, designed murals for all four locations. [6] [11] [14] [8] RGB has also operated in Portland, Oregon. [15] [16] [17] This location closed after two years because it did not generate enough profit and stretched the companies resources much too thin. [18]
