Arby's has closed two of its three Olathe restaurants, the Kansas City Star reported Wednesday, Nov. 4.
The locations at 13790 S. Black Bob Road and 18615 W. 151st St. are both shut down. Signs at the closed stores direct customers to the one remaining Olathe spot at 18060 W. 119th St. Arby's has also removed both closed addresses from its website, according to the Star.
Only one Olathe location remains.
The Star reported that Inspire Brands, Arby's parent company, did not respond to a request for comment. Flynn Group, a major franchisee with dozens of Kansas locations, also did not respond, the Star reported. The Star's report did not identify which franchisee operated the two closed locations.
About 14 Arby's remain open across the Kansas City metro, according to the Star.
The Olathe closures follow a difficult stretch for the chain nationally. Arby's posted a 6.3% sales decline in 2024 and its U.S. restaurant count declined by a net 48 locations, according to a November 2025 report from TheStreet, which cited a Technomic report. TheStreet reported that closures continued into 2025, with at least 14 more locations shutting down across eight states. As of TheStreet’s November 2025 report, Arby’s had not publicly explained those closures.
