    The restaurant was opened in 1988, closed in 2013 because the owner McDonald was ordered to redo the parking lot and remodel the store, and he refused and closed it down, the manager of the store did not even know it until she went to work at 6:30 that morning, and they told Miss Rogers they were closing.

    That's a late 70s or early 80s Arby's and no wonder it didn't sell if a sink hole has opened up underneath it. In fact it's a miracle it's still standing and it could go at any time.

    I have lived and had family work at this Arby's. It wasn't due to a sinkhole that it closed, it was due to the new owner not wanting to put any money into it. It was a good Arby's as long as i can remember

    I been to this one probably a hundred times when I was a kid. I think it was built in late 80s. It ran until late 2010s. Never been remodeled in the inside at all. Used to have a salad bar. It's still in there. Another owner bought it after it closed but building and parking lot are in bad shape. Surprised the back wall didn't cave in that holds up parking lot. Loved this place

    Awesome find indeed. This is the 1980's style building. Definitely a rarity to find one of these abandoned as most have been demolished by now. Now you have to find the original Conestoga wagon style buildings from the 60's.

      I remember there was one of the original wagon-style ones with the great big neon hat sign in the Scranton area when I was a kid in the 70s, don't recall if it lasted much into the 80s or not. Never ate there as a kid, but I always thought it looked super-cool. It was very distinctive, definitely stood out.

    There is always something sad and lonely about a place where it used to have lots of people, like the building it's self loses the will to continue on without people to breath life into it. Of course a sinkhole in the middle of the place is a very good reason to abandon it but still it looks sad missing the people who used to go there.

    It's sad to see this. It was built in the 80's. I have eaten here many times. I like their roast beef sandwiches! This restaurant was unfortunately built on an area that had been filled with dirt, but it was not adequately roll compacted, so over time subsidence occurred. The drive thru on the north side of the building started sinking first. I figured at some point the subsidence would undercut the structure itself. I was sad to see it go.

    It looks nearly identical to a location I remember in Houston, TX from back in the 90s. I am a 90s kid and am not sure when this "chuck wagon" building design was introduced, but I remember it well. Said location eventually closed and was a Church's Chicken throughout the 2000s and then by 2017 or so it became some tea place. Church's kept the Arby's look and just painted the building yellow, but the tea shop completely overhauled the place leaving no traces of the Arby's look. Seeing a classic designed building in this shape is just sickening! Fast food restaurants lack character these days because they all use the shoebox design, which pretty much makes them all identical and bland!

    Yeah, I'd say this is a 1980's building. I remember the 1970's did have the 10 gallon hat for their exterior signage originally. Arby's used to have the an actual roast beef cut they'd carve from, nothing compared to that after they switched to the pre-sliced garbage. This was in Portland Oregon, I can't say if they did nation wide?

    I've driven by that place a number of times. It's really in good shape, drop ceiling is down but that's nothin. Pending any structural considerations, like you say, it could probably be easily refurbished. Booth's look good, upholstery not water damaged, lots of equipment on site. The thing is, did they open up an Arby's like right up the street ? The franchise licensing in the area would be a consideration and I have a feeling it probably closed due to poor sales in that location/area. You'd want something like that next to a highway cloverleaf these days.
