The same 91-year-old owner of the Arby's on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles operated the restaurant for 55 years. Here's why the family called it quits.
The Arby’s Roast Beef restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, famous for its enormous, neon-clad derby hat sign, has shuttered its doors after 55 years. Its last day of operation was Friday. On Monday, at the back of the lot, Gary Husch — general manager of the Arby’s and son-in-law of its original owner — was carting out trash and caught a reporter staring at the bones of the drive-through menu. “There’s nothing there anymore, huh?” he said.
'With inflation, food costs have gone way up and the $20-an-hour minimum wage has been the nail in the coffin.” Leviton was active in the business till the very end, he added. “Truth is, I think it was the pandemic that did us in,' she told KTLA News. 'I really feel we would have closed during the pandemic for the federal loans.” Years ago the family owned, in part, two other Arby’s: one in Santa Monica and another on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue.
