Arby’s Celebrating 40 Years In Jamestown


Link to May 14 Jamestown Post-Journal.

Excerpt: Of the more than 3,600 Arby's fast food restaurants, one of the first and most original is located along Fluvanna Avenue, celebrating its 40th anniversary selling roast beef sandwiches to the Jamestown community.

Arby's was founded in Ohio in 1964 by Forrest and Leroy Raffel, owners of a restaurant equipment business who believed there was an opportunity for a fast food franchise based on a food other than hamburgers. Within five years, the first Arby's opened in Jamestown in March 1969 and was one of the first fast food restaurants in the area.
