Arby's?

July 19, 2021 06:11PM
Did the Arby's shops disappear? They were one of the only QSR/restaurant shops in my area which made me happy, but it's been about a month since they have disappeared. Are they coming back?

According to the scheduler, yes. Soon. They are doing a different type of shop right now, the one where you do your own timings then observe and time another car. That justifies being paid for TWO shops, IMHO.

Oh, I thought that was through a third party since there are other QSR locations besides Arby's.

I accepted two Arby's shops today when they reappeared. They are scheduled for next week.

Shopping Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware above the canal, and South Jersey since 2008

The MSC that was doing Arby's has dozens of Sonics and other random fast food evaluations available showing $25 on the board. They were originally at $10 I think. When they first rolled them out, the email I received said, "Don't email the scheduler asking for a bonus, because these shops are very popular and will move fast." Well, they have now been bonused 150%, and they are still sitting on the board. I may have done some earlier this month if thought I could have negotiated with a scheduler. Now I am too busy with other projects to do any of them.

Wait, a Sonic on the board for $25? Where do you live? Five Guys, I have seen that but ...

The most I've ever gotten for a Sonic shop was the self-same $25, but the board price was $20 and I got the $25 through a MAO because the MSC was apparently desperate to get it done. And this was in an area in the rural South that I have ties to and visit a lot, the most I have ever gotten for a Sonic up here on Long Island where I live was $10, I only do them if there's another shop or two "next door."

EDIT: Apologies for thread "hijack."

I know who handles Arby's now but don't care to shop them anymore lol.

There are 2 or 3 showing on my job board, but not bonused like they were the last round. Yet.

I learn something new every day, but not everyday!

These are not with the traditional Sonic MSC. These are with the MSC that has had Arby's the last few months. They are doing some sort of restaurant study of many different brands right now. I have seen sonic, kfc, Carl's jr, etc available.

I see two types of Arby's shops in my area: the menu-board studies and the regular meal shops. Both were bonused recently.

I actually saw a McDonalds listed with this MSC about an hour drive from me.

I wish McDonalds was shopped again

ETA: I love Arby's but I don't like the item that we have to buy this month

I saw a McDonalds as part of the QSR drive through shops. It was only one location about 60 miles from me.

Arby's have been regularly available here in the Mountain West for at least the past year.

I almost turned into a Reuben sandwich one month :-D

Have synthesizers, will travel...

They have a Taco breakfast shop here that is going for $35.00 I would take it but I am still under a no driving order from having two stents put in lastweek.

Still seeing Arby's shops in S. Georgia. It isn't the same MSC that does Sonic though.

I just shopped an Arby's yesterday. They are still available.
