Arby’s Closes Location After 44 Years – Signs Were Removed Within Hours, But Reason for Closing Remains a Mystery

A POPULAR Arby’s location closed its doors for the final time this weekend after 44 years in business.

The fast-food chain permanently closed one of its most beloved restaurants in Lexington, Kentucky on August 3.

Arby’s is a well-known burger restaurant with more than 3,200 stores across the US.

The restaurant was located on Nicholasville Road, according to the Leader of the Lexington Herald.

This Arby’s store had a drive-thru and had been open since 1980.

Currently, the chain has not provided any explanation as to why this location is closing.

The US Sun reached out to the store for more information.

Even the company’s website has not been updated to announce the closure.

It is unknown which store will replace this Arby’s.

Arby’s slogan is “We Have the Meats” and the chain opened its first store in Ohio in 1964.

This isn’t the first Arby’s store to close its doors in recent months.

The chain closed one of its restaurants in Akron, Ohio, on July 31.

Surprisingly, employees were only given one day’s notice of the site’s closure.

And Arby’s fans took to social media to say goodbye.
