This Arby's old ten gallon hat logo, one of the last around, was just replaced.😢

As of 2021-02-20, the ten gallon hat logo is still on Hillsborough street in raleigh. Just went there not too long ago and its still there.

Last I knew, there was still one of those on Beauregard Street just off VA-236 in Alexandria, Virginia, outside the Landmark Plaza shopping center (the strip mall west of I-395, not the defunct Landmark Mall on the east side of the highway). I haven't driven past there in a few months, though, because I just don't usually have much reason to go in that direction.

There's a neon hat logo in Phoenix, AZ:

https://www.google.com/maps/@33.480502,-111.9985904,3a,90y,75.94h,106.07t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sfUJ4VdAjk8Ip5jc2Jk1YqA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

And it probably won't get replaced soon because it recently got remodeled and they decided to keep it around. Here's the article:

Seems like the title of the thread is becoming less and less accurate.  Makes me wonder why the OP thought it was the last one in the country.

Also the one on Brewerton rd in SYR was renovated and kept the hat.

There are at least one or two in the Twin Cities. One is in Brooklyn Park. I think there might be another still in Uptown that I thought was gone but was surprised to still see it.

There was one along old US-66 in Bethany that I assumed was intentionally left in place for Route 66 nostalgia trip purposes. Apparently not, as it was removed when the store was renovated in 2018.

The one on State Street in Saginaw, MI was replaced within the last couple of years. I believe it was about two years ago that it was replaced. Here's a GSV from 2012, one from 2019 shows the new sign.

If there's one OCD-type job I thought about doing, it would be going around to make marquee signs look good. Great job centering the words in the middle, but why the numbers way off to the sides?

Looks like the pair on Concord Pike (US 202) north of Wilmington, although shorter versions, are still there, according to GSV (but sadly, the nearby old school bell Taco Bell signs are gone).  The one on Wolcott St in Waterbury, CT, although still tall, has been replaced with the modern logo.

I'm surprised there are this many still around, too: not because I thought they were gone, but because I never even knew they existed until this thread.  :D

Perhaps instead of trying to "grab" people–you don't benefit from anyone reading a thread so there's no need to engage in BuzzFeed clickbait tactics–you should instead actually indicate what you're intent on discussing. As originally titled there was no indication that the last of what kind was gone.

bumping as the one in Green Bay is building a new restaurant across the street and the city won't let them relocate the sign ("doesn't meet code") so that is another one lost.

They're still using the 'hat' logo in their corporate advertising, too.  I saw it in an ad that was shown during a game that I saw on one of the screens at a local sports bar, yesterday.

Obviously this is grandfathered in since Westminster's strict sign code prevents any new signs like these.
