You see, Arbys was invented where I Lived for 17 years of my life, and where I was born. So haha.
On an off note did you know Pepsi Owns Taco Bell and KFC??? :( lol.
In 1964 brothers named Leroy and Forrest Raffel decided they wanted to create a fast food chain that wasn’t all about hamburgers, and their first location opened on July 23 of that year in Boardman, Ohio, which is just south of Youngstown, and about 50 miles from either Cleveland or Pittsburgh, PA. The name Arby’s comes from the initials for Raffel Brothers, though many have long suspected it comes from the initials for roast beef, which has been the signature product since day one. Some beef aficionados wonder why the texture of Arby’s “roast beef” doesn’t really resemble that of actual roast beef, but this hasn’t stopped them from opening over 3,700 locations in the years since. They are currently owned by Triarc, and in the process of merging with the Wendy’s hamburgers chain, which will give them over 10,000 locations combined, still not even close to McDonald's or Subway, but in the same ballpark as Burger King or KFC in their quest for future world dominance.
