This Arby's in Kent featured the original sign and building when these photos were taken in 2011. The front part of the building had been altered to create a dining room but the original floor was still there. The "Delicious" on the sign had been changed to "Drive-Thru". Around 2016, the sign was replaced with a small, modern plastic sign. The building looked to be the same. In 2021, this location closed and the sign was removed. By 2024, the building had been demolished. |

| The photos shown below are just some examples of the Arby's hat signs which were first built in 1964 by the Peskin Sign Co. in Ohio. The original covered wagon buildings at these locations are long gone. These signs were phased out in 1976 in favor of a more cartoonish logo and plastic signs. I believe the neon hat signs came in two sizes. There are probably dozens of other examples of these signs scattered around the country. If you know of any others, I'd love to know about them. The signs and links below are organized alphabetically by state. |

The Hollywood location opened in 1968. The bulb border was replaced with neon at some point. In 2024, the location closed. The sign was removed in 2025. It is being restored and may be installed at another Arby's location, possibly in Ontario, CA. The Canoga Park location has closed and is fenced off. The plastic letters on the building have been painted over and the bottom of this hat sign has been tagged. [map] This Arby's in Ventura featured the large model neon sign. The building had been remodeled and the original tile floor was gone. In 2015, it was announced that this Arby's would be moving. In 2019, this location closed and the sign was demolished. In 2021, the building was demolished. |
