Arby's Restaurant Group Arbys is the place for people hungering for a unique, better tasting alternative to traditional fast food. Its the favorite place for people who crave something different and better. Serving one-of-a-kind menu items, Arbys is well known for slow-roasted and freshly sliced roast beef sandwiches, Arbys Chicken Naturals, and famous Market Fresh sandwiches, wraps and salads, made with wholesome ingredients and served with the convenience of a drive-thru. From day one, Arbys Roast Beef Restaurants offered an innovative menu, offering guests something other than hamburgers in the newly inspired quick service segment. When foodservice veterans Leroy and Forrest Raffel opened the first Arbys in Boardman, Ohio on July 23, 1964, customers enjoyed roast beef sandwiches, potato chips, and Texas-sized iced teas. To name their new venture, the brothers decided on Arbys, which stands for R.B., the initials of the Raffel Brothers - although many suspect the R.B. stands for roast beef. Leroy and Forrest never looked back. They fine tuned the operation and sold the first franchise to Sam Feldman the following year. Today, Arbys rich heritage is comprised of several multi-generation franchise owners. In fact, Jim Raffel, founder Leroys son, owns and operates three locations in Maine.
