As Arby's, a locally owned franchise, approaches its 41st year in the community, it stands as an enduring symbol of dedication to culinary freshness, quality, and unwavering community commitment. It has set an enviable benchmark for fast-food establishments everywhere.
The community is eagerly looking forward to Arby's grand re-opening celebrations from July 6th to 8th, 2023. "We are excited to have everyone come to commemorate our new look while relishing our timeless flavours," says Alexis Parr, District Manager at Arby’s in Sault Ste. Marie.
Attendees can expect free Classic Roast Beef sandwiches with any purchase during specific hours, and can participate in an exciting "Guess the Sauce" competition with a chance to win a $250 Arby’s gift card.
Arby's story paints a vivid portrait of growth, adaptation, and an unflagging commitment to its local community. For over four decades, it has been more than just a provider of high-quality fast food. It’s a pillar of the community, offering jobs, stimulating commerce, and serving as a beloved gathering place for neighbours, families, and friends.
"Every day, we ensure all fruits and vegetables are freshly washed and cut in-house. This practice reflects our dedication to serving the freshest produce." Parr takes particular pride in their specially trained "Meat Crafters," who prepare the iconic roast beef on-site, ensuring a fresh and flavourful experience with each sandwich.
Arby's has smoothly navigated the currents of time, embracing modern technological advancements to enhance efficiency and customer experience. Parr explains how their latest Wi-Fi-enabled ovens perfectly monitor every roast, and how digitized order tracking systems have significantly boosted service speed. Yet, despite these modern adaptations, Arby's remains unwavering in maintaining the originality of its menu. Sandwich sizes have been unchanged over four decades, and their two classics, the “Classic Roast Beef” and the “Classic Beef ‘n Cheddar,” taste as delicious as they were on opening day.
As the community anticipates the grand re-opening, a palpable sense of excitement and nostalgia fills the air. Arby's has always been more than a food hub. It symbolizes community resilience and adaptability. As it embarks on this new chapter, it's evident that while the look may have changed, the heart of this cherished franchise remains the same.
Here's to celebrating 41 years of fresh food, community spirit, and unforgettable flavours, and looking forward to many more.
