History
Arby's opened its first location in 1964 near Youngstown Ohio. It quickly began offering franchises and in the 1970s opened over 50 sites per year.
The brand purpose of Inspiring Smiles Through Delicious Experiences® started with tasty and straightforward roast beef sandwiches. Leroy and Forrest Raffel felt people needed an alternative to burgers if they needed a fast meal and found a way to provide hot roast beef sandwiches as fast as a burger could be flipped. Thus, Arby's was born. In 1971 they debuted the Classic roast beef sandwich that is still made the same way today.
Many people know Arby's for its curly fries, fun commercials and slogans, but the roast beef sandwich still sits as the core sandwich. Arby's continuous expansion of meaty sandwiches is driving its franchise expansion with an increase in revenues of up to 37 percent since 2011.
Arby's founded the Arby's Foundation 30 years ago. It is dedicated to youth empowering organizations and has donated more than $80 million. These programs prevent hunger, educate and mentor youth.
Arby's has several core principles that are embedded in the way they conduct business, build relationships, make decisions and set goals:
- Dream Big
- Work Hard
- Get it Done
- Play Fair
- Have Fun
- Make a Difference®
With this in mind, Arby's has added chicken, turkey, corned beef, vegetarian options and more keeping the quality of their food and service at an optimum while still being affordable.
