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.

Hasn't there already been a thread like this?
If you ever feel useless, remember that CR 504 exists.

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.

In Florida most Arby's are modern. Lakeland was one of the few around Central Florida.

Right, but as your slice of FL goes, so goes not the country.

There is one in Green Bay and one in the suburb of Ashwaubenon.

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.

There's another one at the corner of Wolf and Cermak in the western suburbs of Chicago.

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?

^^ They changed 2 logos since then. 1 in lower case characters, and now a standard font look like the hat in photo 2.

I guess I hadn't noticed. It's been a while since I ate there.

Spokane still has its sign https://goo.gl/maps/ig9yQe1BdXj2Rksw5

No need to travel east. Tacoma/38th St still has the tall hat sign: https://goo.gl/maps/szdoaY32KCFu2dee7

It's in very good shape.

I didn't realize it was that many still around. I'm guessing its popular to remove them when the restaurants get remodeled though.
