Hollywood Arby's closes after 55 years over California's $20 minimum wage
2024-06-21
[NYPOST] A family-owned Arby’s Roast Beef that has been a fixture on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood for 55 years shut its doors, blaming Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,’s recently enacted $20-an-hour minimum wage law as the final "nail in the coffin."

The fast food joint’s iconic cowboy hat sign was captured by FOX 11’s SkyFOX camera on Tuesday reading, "Farewell Hollywood. TY for 55 great years."

The restaurant, near Bronson Avenue, closed on Saturday, according to local reports.

#12  #7 No joke. I'm calling it Beef Tourism, because eating at a steak house will soon be the equivalent of Disney Land. Both Big Texan and Harris Ranch Resort are expanding overnight capacities. BTW - Harris Ranch is not bad.

#10  I feel like we don't point this out enough: Commies *DO* understand "supply and demand" when elections are at stake--hence the draining of the domestic reserve in efforts to reduce gas prices. THUS we should roundly BATTER THEM when they pretend "supply and demand" doesn't exist when they do things like hike up minimum wages (among other economically stupid acts).

#7  Not just in California, but everywhere in the USA. It's getting to the point where one will have to wear a tie and jacket or fancy dress just to eat at a fast food joint!

Another clear example of Liberal Socialist geared stupidity running California now.

Even a 6th grader running a lemonade stand understands, if you increase the cost of materials and production, it raises the cost of what is produced.

As such, Arby's Classic Roast Beef and any fast food sandwich price has increased with every ridiculous State Minimum Wage increase used to get votes.

(Trump) $2.50 ea in 2016-18
(Biden) $4.69ea in 2024

Imagine now, what it would be at $20 p/hr

#2  Investor owned brick and mortar businesses are out. Curbside foot carts and bodegas are the future.

#1  The 20 buck wage thing is designed to drive the youth out of the workforce. CA would rather give them a universal salary and make them debtors to the state.
