Abandoned Arby's - Saginaw, TX

Abandoned Arby's - Saginaw, TX. In this video we take a look at this rather odd design for an Arby's. I haven't personally seen another one that looks like this one. We also take note of the nearby restaurants and their designs and how they compare to today's standard shoebox design.

[@ntropolis]

There's an old-style Arby's in Virginia Beach on Virginia Beach Blvd. that's still open.. It even has the "Arby's Roast Beef is Delicious" sign! Maybe you can check it out on your next trip to the OBX.

Sad to see any Arby’s abandoned. It’s my favorite restaurant!

[@amandaclick3590]

Great video, Wallie! ❤ In fact, there is an Arby's restaurant between Lufkin and Nacogdoches in the small community of Redland in Texas! It is located inside a Love's truckstop. There is also a gift shop located inside that restaurant! I have been there twice 3 or 4 years ago. I ate at Arby's and shopped at that gift store! I loved it! ❤ I enjoyed watching your video! Thank you so much!

8:25 that 3D Arby's logo was introduced in 2012 and short lived because of how bad it looked. And as for that Whataburger, that is one weird combo where old meets new!

[@danestegman155]

Good video! You don't see too many abandoned Arby's around! This looks like it was a lot older one!

[@joeydersario2470]

Awesome wallie

[@asamojomaster]

I live near an old Arby's that closed abruptly in 2012 which has a fairly similar exterior design. It has since become a dispensery for all your Marijuana needs. Next door is an old Wendy's (closed 2 years later) which recently became a food truck hub with video lottery inside the dining room

[@yomammaisonyoutube]

I used to eat lunch here on Sundays with my dad when I was a kid, so many memories its been there since 86 or 87 .The place across the street used to be a Payless cashway. The Wendy's was the last ones I ever ate at cause all of them seemed to have language barriers in the drive through that resulted in bad service. In my 20s I ate at that taco bell daily I lived right off of hwy 156. Kinda sad to see that area going down hill but that's the way it is in ftWorth TX

[@futonman66]

I lived in Saginaw late '80s met a lot of awesome people when I was going to Boswell High School their mascot pioneers there is an Arby's now in Mineral Wells it was Burger King right across the street from McDonald's I definitely miss the sauce bottles

[@futonman66]

Yeah there was a Lisa's Chicken on Cherry Lane in White Settlement is now Tom's chicken just as good Lisa's Chicken was really good I think they moved to another location I don't remember

[@PontiacSunfires]

Damn thats crazy. I went to Boswell from 2018-2021. I honestly didnt know the school was so old, opened in 1962. I bet my comment makes u feel old. Im 21 now, but ill be old soon enough. Life.

[@adamvyondandplotagonmaster7454]

Great video :) i love your videos ever since Wendy in Wexford Pennsylvania

[@CBoxin]

Lisa's chicken is actually a pretty good place. I wouldn't get the sea food but their chicken is spot on. also they usually take up anything abandoned. (old dairy queens, dry cleaners, you name it.) but they also own a gas station chain. which is just their restaurant with a gas station added on.

[@alanlough638]

A great video, Wallie and Kayla! As for the ladder that goes up to the roof, you should've gone up. I would've been tempted. LOL! As for the updated Whataburger, I like the old school aesthetics than the gray and brown brick. Have a Texaslicious Day!

[@aphrodite7420]

this was my childhood arbys, it closed down due to the owner selling drugs with the owner of the wendys next door. the blue mound cafe across the street used to be a dixie house, thats what i remember it as, it may have been a burger king before i was born, but im not sure. thanks for doing this video, it was interesting seeing a place i went to as a kid deteriorating.

[@eugenebreeden7570]

Back in the 90's 1 of the local Arby's here had that logo as their sign out front. it was HUG. About 20 years ago they updated the place & took out that giant sign haven't ever seen one that big anywhere else

[@adamn.4615]

Are you talking about a huge hat-shaped sign? I saw one of those in Austin about 5 years ago...I don't know if it's still there.

[@eugenebreeden7570]

@@adamn.4615 Yeah it was the huge hat they used as the sign. Wish I knew where it went when they remodled the store

[@adamn.4615]

@@eugenebreeden7570 Those big hats did give Arby's some character. I remember they were fairly common when I was a kid. It certainly brought back memories when I saw the one in Austin.

[@cvpiDOTnet]

Lisa's Chicken is really good and I go to the one near me often and they very popular around here. The one you are trying to think of is on I-30 and Oakland in Fort Worth near the CBS TV station. Never been to that one, but yes it is in not the best area of town, but many of them are. Next time you are out here you should try it, there is a really nice one in south Hurst on Bedford-Euless that is only a few years old. That one used to be a Dairy Queen decades ago and they use old closed fast food places likely because it is cheaper to build them out. There is also another Lisa's in Hurst on Pipeline and that used to be an Arby's with one of the original signs.

[@christiangonzales7429]

Arby's is crazy underrated.

[@jennifergarrett6809]

Arby's use to do a 5 sandwiches for $5. When I was a kid my dad would stop and buy like $20 worth and stick them in the freezer. Then we'd pull them out for a fast meal. I even worked there for 8 months back years ago. And I still love the food.

[@Am71919]

It was 5 for $5.95 in my area

[@jennifergarrett6809]

@@Am71919 my dad has been dead since 1993 if that gives you an idea of when I was a kid. The price did go up almost a dollar after his passing.

[@Am71919]

@@jennifergarrett6809 this was way before your father passed, I worked there from 84 to 90, Arby's was doing the five for $5.95 in the late 80s, they got cheaper as time went on because they started to put less meat on it

[@jennifergarrett6809]

@@Am71919 that's interesting. From the 80s to the 90s here in my area it had been 5 for 5. I began working there in 1996 and right before I quit it went up to 5.95. By 2000 they quit doing it although. I hadn't heard of Arby's till we moved to Weatherford in 1996. So my knowledge only goes back that far. But I do find it funny that it started at a higher price went down then the price went back up. Really crazy there.

[@Am71919]

@@jennifergarrett6809 now to be fair, this was in NYC, where everything is higher, customers would constantly complain about the price, so Arby's lowered the price and put less meat on them by the mid 90's

👍😎😷✌ amazing video

[@Cam_cam24]

Now it’s turning into a Jack-in-the-Box

[@JMShearer]

It's been ages since I've been to an Arby's. I know where one or two are in my area, but one's in a part of town I don't often go to any more and the other's hard to get into and out of, at least in my opinion. And as for the modern look of most of these fast food places, I might have said this before, but as someone who works in one, they look like shoe boxes, and it's like working in one, too. Hardly any room for anything inside.

[@christiangonzales7429]

The shoe box designs have zero character!

[@paullewis69]

The Blue Mound Cafe used to be a Dixie House Cafe.. That Whataburger was completely gutted & rebuilt around the frame..

[@Contour2932]

Great video!

[@evanwilliams6406]

That interior looks so much like the one that we had in our area before they razed it and turned it into a Pizza Hut.

[@themonsterjamtalkshow8025]

Where is that located at

[@forestjordan5921]

Thank you for doing this wallie! That location was my first job worked there from 2007-2011 and no that restaurant across the street wasn't ever a burger King, it was called buffys and I believe it was a diner, after it closed its been a couple of other diner restaurants as well, the dickies bbq next door was a wells Fargo bank before it relocated up the street and the taco bell was a taco bell/ kfc that was bulldozed and rebuilt as a shoe box taco bell, another crazy fact is out of the 4 to 5 years I worked there I never stepped foot in that gated area in the back lol also this location closed in April 2017

[@forestjordan5921]

Lisa's is delicious 😋

[@forestjordan5921]

You put a smile on my face when you said the lobby looked clean because I took care of that place like my own home, but when you filmed the drive through window I cried so hard

[@adamn.4615]

I believe you're thinking of the Lisa's Chicken on I-30 that took over an old BK. I drive by it when I travel out west. I've never been there, so I have no idea if the food is any good.

[@jasonfuhrmeister492]

Might be a bit of a hike for you since you live on the other side of Pennsylvania but there is an old abandoned 90s style Wendy’s near me the town is called Quakertown pa! You should check it out one day before they knock it down or turn it in to something else!

The one in Burleson looked like that before it got remodeled a few years ago. This one is in Blue Mound. Just ate at the Saginaw location recently! Parking lot is a bit rough, but it's still open. Not a fan of the new Whataburger buildings. I do like the Dr Pepper shakes though. Have you tried Babe's Chicken Dinner House?

[@Prnencetti]

Hi Wally and Kayla I have an abandoned Arby's in my town too. I think it turned into chilitos or something it was some mom and pop store that never made it and sailed right away after it opened. Speaking of businesses turning into other businesses we have a couple of those where I live I think it's getting popular in 2021 beyond businesses just don't want to build their own business anymore so they're going to come in and take abandoned businesses. If the roof is in great shape why not take it got to drive through you want to drive through for your store why not take it. Examples are McDonald's in the village of Liverpool where I live turn down village Burger because the guy I wanted to move back home where his family was out of state and didn't want to run the restaurant anymore Burger King becoming a Mexican restaurant another McDonald's being torn down and turned into a giant Church bruegger's bagels becoming KFC. And my Arby's becoming I think chilitos or something some mom and pop foreign restaurant I've never heard of.

[@Water-Proof]

I live in Adizona and the only reason I ate Arby's was because of their Potato Cakes or hash brown patties, they stopped selling them here around me, so I stopped buying their food.

[@markbaxter5027]

Hey Wallie! Yes this country would be in trouble without the truckers but This country would be in trouble without the farmers also.

[@yippeepenelope7274]

Technically this is a Fort Worth address but if you live here, it’s called Blue Mound. We have an operational arbys in Saginaw that’s why I clicked the video like huh? Also, Lisa’s is an amazing local chain and you really shouldn’t judge it by the exterior. They’re mostly closed down restaurants that the owners reopen as Lisa’s. Give them a try.

[@forestjordan5921]

Saginaw is right across the rd

[@claudespeed277]

The arbys I worked at opened in 1968, was told it was nearly the 50th store by some higher ups. It was run down much like the area it was in, sadly it was slated to close and has recently shutdown, mainly due to poor sales, outdated design that hasn't had a renovation since the early 90s, and crime. Fun times were had there, I loved the casino like arbys hat logo that lit up at night. Dont know it's future atm, it may sit abandoned for years to come since despite efforts to clean up the area, the presence of section 8 housing and low property values kinda don't help much. Still there may be hope, just 5 years ago the area looked like it was apart of an inner city of a 3rd world country, now it looks alot more pleasing to the eye.(also down the street sits an abandoned OG taco bell from the 60s as wellz Still standing too!) It not being too far from one of the sharpest declining malls with rich history makes for a nice detour when u come to texas)

[@RichieTrashmouthTozier]

Looks about in the same shape as the open one near my house 😆

[@cvpiDOTnet]

Oh and that Whataburger is in Fort Worth (I-820 and Blue Mound) just south of Saginaw and I am pretty sure it is a new building where they torn the old one down completely. This is one of their new designs and I agree with you, I do not like it. They did this also to a Whataburger on Beach and Hwy 121 after the winter 2021 cold snap . The building was vert old and not worth fixing.

[@cvpiDOTnet]

Looking closer at Google Streetview it probably is the same shell of a building, I just recall seeing wood framing last year going by it. But closer look this one in your video is not a completely new building like the one I mentioned on Beach in Fort Worth.

[@forestjordan5921]

I beg to differ, everything west of blue mound rd/156 is saginaw city limits up to the motel/ railroad tracks, there's even a saginaw city limit sign there and is patrolled by saginaw police, I use to watch them bust people at the motel all the time working at that arbys and when the lumber store was abandoned across the street someone got in and set alarms and saginaw pd swarmed it

[@forestjordan5921]

Now the side with Arby's is fort worth

[@cvpiDOTnet]

@@forestjordan5921 Checking tax records, yes I stand corrected it is Saginaw. I first went by Google Maps saying it was Fort Worth 76106, but zip codes are share with cities all over DFW. Which means ZIP code 76106 is Fort Worth primary, but is shared with Saginaw. Same as in south Hurst and Euless where Fort Worth shares a ZIP code with either city.

[@ryanclifton7033]

Lisa's is a pretty popular chain since there chicken is cheap compared to chicken Express or other chicken chains in the area

[@themonsterjamtalkshow8025]
