Local Arby’s restaurants sold

HURON – The local Clyde, Fremont, Huron, North Ridgeville, Port Clinton and Sheffield Village Arby’s have been sold.

According to a Facebook post from longtime owner Mark Giaco, the restaurants were sold to Sun Holdings. Sun Holdings, through its Turbo Restaurants subsidiary, owns and operates nearly 650 restaurants, including Arby’s, Krispy Kreme, Cici’s Pizza, and Golden Corral locations.

“I began working at Arby’s in Cleveland as a 17 year old high school kid. Thirteen years later Karen and I packed up our one and two year old daughters in our one minivan to move to Port Clinton to open up our first restaurant as Arby’s Franchisees. To say we were scared to death would be an understatement,” Mark Giaco wrote. “We put up five more restaurants in Fremont, North Ridgeville, Sheffield Village, Huron and Clyde within the next ten years. Our last day of operating those restaurants was one week ago today, on December 8, 2021.”

“It’s been a great run and too many memories to count for me personally in those 45 years,” Giaco added. “Friendships, marriages, babies, grand babies, good times, hard times, promotions, and the list goes on. Always love though for our Arby’s family and always grateful to our loyal customers. We weren’t perfect, but we always strived to be the best. Much love and peace to you all.”
