Another day, another (two) Arby's closures in metro Atlanta. This time, it's the Arby's at 2161 Roswell Road in East Cobb and at 2365 Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth. ToNeTo Atlanta readers suggest that the restaurants closed quietly in recent days without prior notice to guests. Signage has already been removed from both restaurants.
The Gwinnett County restaurant sits on .96 acres, was built in 1996 and is 2,938 square feet, according to county records.
Both the East Cobb and Duluth restaurants were previously owned by RTM Georgia, once an operator of roughly 800 Arby's restaurants and the largest franchisee of the brand. Tax records indicate that both units were most recently owned and operated by Arby's corporate via Arby's Properties, LLC.
Arby's, owned by Sandy Springs-based Inspire Brands, has seen several metro Atlanta units close in recent years, including those in Roswell, Alpharetta, Albany, Milton, Buford, Chamblee, Sandy Springs, downtown Atlanta, Buckhead (Chastain Park), and Suwanee.
The latest closures come on the heels of closures in Marietta along Cobb Parkway this past November, and in Chamblee along Peachtree Boulevard this past December.
In years past, Arby's have also closed on Spring Street in Midtown, Vaughn Road in Kennesaw, South Cobb Drive in Smyrna, Metropolitan Parkway in Atlanta, and LaVista Road in Tucker, as well as food court locations in Northlake Mall in Tucker and Lenox Square in Buckhead, among others.
ToNeTo Atlanta reported in October 2024 that Arby's closed its longstanding restaurant on Roswell and Wieuca Roads in Chastain Park. This past June, we reported that a new location of Fifth Third Bank is planned in its place.
Despite all the closures, the company and its franchisees continue to operate about 3,400 restaurants worldwide.
Remaining Atlanta area units include those on North Druid Hills Road, Sidney Marcus Boulevard, and Howell Mill Road in Atlanta, and Hammond Drive in Sandy Springs.
Are you surprised to see Arby's close in East Cobb and Duluth? What would you like to see open in place of shuttered Arby's? What is your favorite quick-serve restaurant (QSR)?

I guess they will take their meats elsewhere
Sad. It was a good Arby's restaurant. Hopefully something like Culver's will move in. Martin's, Burger King, Long John's, A&W ETC ... NO CHICKEN PLEASE! raised cane and zaxby SUCKS!
Are there only four Arby's left in the Atlanta area??
That sucks. Arby's is my favorite fast food place. I am really sorry to hear of any ot them closing.
What ever happened to the one that was going to be built in Tucker at Lawrenceville Hwy near downtown Tucker?
Well I commented 24 hours ago but it hasn't been posted. I guess nobody at ToneToAtl cares.
WE HAVE THE BEEF is gone.
Sorry to see this and others close. Visted this and the other store that is East of this location many times.
No issues with the staff, food or cleanliness of the location.
I guess RTM has exited the quick serve business.
Good luck to the staff in landing an new job.
now it's awkward.....
expect to receive a full refund shortly!
“Where’s the meat?”
There's still an Arby's on South Cobb Drive in Smyrna. It's near the corner of South Cobb and Highlands Parkway and about 1/4 mile north of 285.
There’s also a Krystal on south cobb drive right by the Arby’s. They serve slider type burgers and fries
There’s also a McDonalds on South Cobb Drive. They sell food and drinks.
FAFO Arby's!!! Glad to see it disappear as it is a major funder of MAGA and the Christian right. Look it up if you give two cents.....
When I get off my shift at the Amazon warehouse, I now have one less place to buy an ultra processed, overpriced, squished-flat sandwich. Maybe I can find a What? A Burger? in some other armpit of Gwinnett county to suit my needs.
Across from the Arby’s and Krystal’s and Macdonalds on south cobb drive there’s a chicken restaurant called Zaxbys. They serve chicken fingers wings and sandwiches. When I eat there I find myself happy and content
Cook something at home.
When RTM owned Arby's, closures were never this often. Why did they decide to sell?
I like the Pizz Hut, they have good and a sald too
