Where does Arby's get this money?

[nile455]

I know this is a stupid way to put this, but... everytime I go into Arby's, the place is DEAD. No matter what Arby's location I visit. I thought they would close half their stores like years ago.

I used to think the same thing about Hardee's. We don't have them where I live now. I totally get the Arby's thing too now that you mention it the one by our house is always empty.

They are always empty, but their Jamocha shakes are swinging! Dang, now I want one... thanks

Our Hardee's is HOPPING in the mornings with all the lil ol' men meeting for coffee, but in the 8 years I have lived here, I have never eaten there (at that one... I have when I was younger across town). IT is SCARY.

Same applies to Arby's, although they one near me is in a better location so they get better traffic. I do love a good Beef n Cheddar, though.

there is a Bennigans near us that I haven't been inside since 1987. I don't know anyone who has been there either. the parking lot is usually empty or close to it, yet it is still open. Go Figure!

The decline of Arby's began when they discontinued the distribution of *free pickles*....my side dish of choice!

No, really, we have an Arbys that does quite well and they have a Southwestern Salad that kills. But give me a big old RB Sandwich anyday.

Sigh...yea, thanks....I guess we are going out for dinner now.

Blech. DH and I call it Crappigan's!

All of the Arby's near our house are always crowded - never empty. Maybe they keep the empty stores open for a tax write-off?

 

[WildernessBride]

It's cause the charge like $4 for six of those little cheesecake bites....they are racking it in!!!

We call Applebee's Craperbee's...I like yours too!!!

Hey I used to live in Bensalem! Hi!!

Arby's is really a drug front. That's why you never see anyone in there...and that's why they have the moolah!

LOL, we call it Crapplebee's

I'm bummed they're buying Wendys!! well, unless Wendys starts carrying Pepsi products now I hope they don't raise Wendys prices though! I can eat there SO cheap!

 

[Todd&Copper]

They are actually building a new Arby's next to my gym (and next to a Toxic Hell & a Booger Fling). DH LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES him some Arby's. The Arby's at Annapolis Mall does a pretty steady business. Not as much as Chick-fil-a, but way more than the Panda Express or the generic Texas BBQ place.

Same here as most of the others. Wendy's drive thru has a line out to the street and Arby's is always empty. Weird.

We love Arby's - actually just had them for dinner last night. They are a little more expensive, but always clean, always friendly, always good, better quality, and we always get coupons in the newspaper in emails (from Arby's) that make them no more expensive than any other fast food place. They aren't as busy as a burger joint because they offer a smaller variety. For a long time I didn't eat at Arby's, but over the past few years really like them.

 

[Angelhalo]

We don't get any coupon's for Arby's or maybe we'd eat there more often. It's too expensive and i find their menu limiting. If i want a sanwich, I can make one at home for cheap so all I ever end up getting there is the roast beef sandwich cause I love their Arby's sauce and Horsey sauce.

Hardees...Yuck! The last one in our area closed years ago. But, I remember going there one time. Everything in the restaurant had a layer of grease on it. I picked up the salt and pepper shakers and my hand stuck to them. It was gross.

I could give or take Arby's. The one near us always seems to be busy. But they stopped offering homestyle fries(regular) sometime last year. If you order a meal, it's curly fries or potato cakes. I can't stand either. I do like their jamocha shake but it is expensive.

I thought the very same thing when I read this story. It's true they are always empty.

In fact I always walk into Arby's here, because they are notorius for when going thru the Drive Thru, they leave out items.
