The old, original sign outside an Arby's in Meadville is back.

It was reinstalled after the restaurant on Park Ave. was rebuilt.

All of the Arby's restaurants built in the 1960s and 70s had the large neon signs with the design of ten-gallon hat, but there's not many of these signs left anymore as newer, smaller, and less expensive signs have taken their place.

A petition drive was started to keep the old sign. One social media post urging support of the old sign received over 2,700 likes in a week.

In the end, the company agreed to refurbish the old sign.

Erie News Now first told you about the outcry from customers which saved the sign on The Last Word.
