Iconic Hollywood Arbys and San Fran McDonalds latest victims of Cali's $20/hour minimum wage
A family-owned Arby’s Roast Beef that has been a fixture on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood for 55 years shut its doors, blaming California’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.
“With inflation, food costs have gone way up and the $20-an-hour minimum wage has been the nail in the coffin,” Gary Husch, general manager of the Arby’s location, told Los Angeles Times.
Husch is the son-in-law of 91-year-old Marilyn Leviton, who opened the Arby’s franchise at 5920 Sunset Boulevard in January1969, six months before the moon landing.
But on Friday, Arby’s workers arriving for their shift were told they were being let go.
