Any Joliet resident who wants an Arby’s roast beef sandwich will need to drive out of the Joliet/Plainfield area to buy one. The Arby’s on Route 59 in Joliet is gone.

However, Arby’s still has locations in Channahon, Homer Glen, Lockport, Minooka, New Lenox and Romeoville. For additional locations, visit arbys.com.
