Arby’s Leaves Eight States and Cans 1400 Workers

Readers outside the U.S. are unlikely to know the name of Arby’s, the fast-food restaurant founded in the 1970s known for its roast beef sandwiches.

Looks like they’re finally failing after a good run.

I interviewed their top marketing executive a few weeks ago, who told me that cost pressures had finally caught up with them. He continued to explain that they were experiencing decreasing demand for the flesh of murdered cows.

Just kidding.  He didn’t express it quite that way.

His point was that the trend toward veganism, plant-based meat, etc., was a huge contributing factor.
