Fulton Mall Arby's Calls It Quits
It was just over a year ago that the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved the design for an Arby’s restaurant in the interior-landmarked space at 372 Fulton Street in the Fulton Mall and just over a half-year ago that the fast food joint opened its doors.

It was just over a year ago that the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved the design for an Arby’s restaurant in the interior-landmarked space at 372 Fulton Street in the Fulton Mall and just over a half-year ago that the fast food joint opened its doors. Evidently, though, things didn’t work out as planned for the chain, which is already calling it quits. A couple of tipsters wrote in during the day yesterday, and they were still moving out when we stopped by in the early evening. All that hype for an seven month run! GMAP
I agree with fsrq. And I don’t think that happens all that often! But, yeah. The money’s there.
Jessi,
I even tried to be nice to you yesterday and looked up the Crumbs hours and posted for you! When can we call a truce? I honestly have no idea what I’ve said to you to make you enjoy being an ass to me.
jessibaby you are probably right – but frankly I think the place would do well as a………

The truth is the area and available client base has changed drastically from when it was last a G&T – the multiple hotels, and increased higher-end housing gives a G&T thousands more potential patrons than years ago; and the landmarked interior gives any place that opens, instant credibility in terms of “authenticity” and such a reopening is sure to generate tons of free press and hype.
A good chef should snatch this place up – bet the rent is cheap too.
11217, I’ll be honest. I love being an ass…to you.
But I will make a prediction, just to keep it fair – it will be a long time before someone rents this place. I wonder how many years they have left on their lease.
chick-fil-a is REALLY good.
Have to try Chick-Fil-A. Hear of them endlessly in college football season b/c they sponsor a lot of stuff.
College football + good fast food = happy me.
Not quite 100% but I’ll still take some credit on the prediction:
I would love Arby’s in NYC (although wasnt there one in the village that closed?) but renting this space, with tons of extra costs and headaches due to its landmark status doesnt bode well for the geniuses that are making these business plans.

There’s a Chick-Fil-A at NYU. The southern folks from my office make weekly pilgrimages.
I was wrong.
And Jessi, let’s be honest….you love being an ass.
