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. 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
What’s the rent on that location? Fulton Mall is still known for dollar stores and knock off electronics outlets.
Bring back the old Chicken Kitchens!!!!!!!!!!!!
11217, perfect oppty to display you can admit to being wrong. hehe
What about chick-fil-a? Any reason why their only nyc location is inside an NYU foodhall? They don’t franchise either.

I actually think that’s pretty cool.
You all sound like a bunch of communists. If Arby’s was the only one to step up to the plate and pay the rent, then stfu.
Otherwise YOU should have gone and rented the space.
I think it looks quite cool inside and while I may never eat there, I won’t be surprised to hear this is the highest grossing Arbys in the chain this time next year.
Mmmmm….roast beef.
Snappy, there’s 2 white castles right by me (1 on mrytle and 1 on Atlantic). I’m begging them to franchise it
Fast food certainly thrives in areas such as Fulton Mall, so I’m curious to know why people think Arby’s failed here. Something to do with the landmarked interior/exterior?
Oh, and there’s still one on Willoughby off of Jay.
I still say I want Amy Ruth’s Soul Food to move in. They were supposed to right after Friday’s left, had a sign up and everything, then it never materialized 🙁
This sucks! I liked that Arbys and interior was really cool. I was there on a Thursday afternoon around lunchtime and it was pretty busy. Too bad it didn’t work out.
