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
Shake Shack!
^^^not a serious contribution. I’ve never had the food because the lines are always too long.
Amy Ruth’s went out of business because they don’t know how to make decent grits (not really, but their awful grits annoyed me).
Chipotle is yummy but causes some wicked heartburn!

Why must the replacement necessarily be a restaurant? The space can be successful if some visionary entrepreneur or business figures a way to bring in a new concept that maximizes the landmarked interior by addressing an audience that appreciates it, while also serving a need in the local/regional community. Now, I don’t know exactly what that would be, but I’m sure there are some smart New Yorkers around that would. The problem is getting them interested and getting someone to front the money.
totes. if i had the money i’d open up a hardcore sex club. but of course nanny bloomberg and his mommy guiiliani wont allow that. so we will have to settle for something really lame like a chuck e. cheese… which WOULD be fun as long as it was a chuck e. cheese that didnt allow minors.
why is nyc so lame?
*rob*
Randolph – there’s a Chipotle on Montague close to Court.
Chipotle!!!
Yeah! Can we have a restaurant more formal and sedate than BBQs in Downtown Brooklyn. There is a market for places to have birthday parties, bridal showers and family dinners. Arby’s (not to mention the nail salon in what were the private dining rooms) was just so sad!
No! The website is still up touting their Harlem location. Where did you hear that, gman?
AMY RUTH’S IS TOTALLY GONE??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
