History

Rachel Marshall 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]

RGB's flagship store opened at Pike Place Market in July 2013. [5] [6] The business began operating on Capitol Hill in 2015, [7] at University Village in the University District in 2017, [8] [9] [10] and in Denny Triangle in 2019. [11] [12] [13] RGB has also operated in Portland, Oregon. [14] [15] [16]

RGB was founded by Rachel Marshall with help from her partner Adam Peters. [3] Marshall met her partner in Germany while she was living there. This is also where she was introduced to ginger beer. [4] Rachel Marshall grew up on Whidbey Island. [3] Marshall and Peters are the parents to two children. [3] Marshall died in 2023 at the age of 42 due to liver failure. [3]

RGB was not the only restaurant business that Marshall was involved in. She was a co-owner of two bars in Seattle with Kate Opatz: [3] Montana Bar and Nacho Borracho. [17] In 2013, Seattle Metropolitan named Marshall one of 50 "most influential" people in Seattle. [18]
