Date founded
In 1964, Leroy and Forrest Raffel opened the first Arby’s sandwich shop selling roast beef sandwiches, because they wanted to create something different than the popular burger joint. The first franchise location opened just one year later in 1965. However, it wasn’t until a few years later in 1971 when Arby’s was finally able to perfect its roast beef recipe. The same one is used in Arby’s today.
The restaurant opened its 1,000th restaurant in 1980. In 1991, it revamped the menu by adding a line of products that would cater to those looking for lighter options like salads and sandwiches with less than 300 calories.
In 2013, the company decided it was time to rev up its marketing with the new “We Have The Meats” campaign and slogan.
