Iconic Hollywood Arby's Closes After 55 Years

Rising costs, pandemic impacts, and new wage laws force the historic Sunset Boulevard location to shut down.

The Arby's on Sunset Boulevard was one of the first in Los Angeles, operating since 1969.
Owner Marilyn Leviton cited the pandemic, inflation, and California's $20 minimum wage as key factors in the closure.
The restaurant was known for its large neon derby hat sign, a local landmark.
The family-owned franchise had previously closed two other locations in Santa Monica and Hollywood.
The future of the property and its iconic sign remains uncertain.
