The Iconic Arby’s Cowboy Hats Are Alive and Well in Texas
Texas is one of the only states with the original iconic Arby's signs. Now of course we're familiar with the Golden Arches from McDonalds, or the Taco Bell purple bell. But people who know Arby's also know the iconic cowboy hat, but people will also remember the classic cowboy hat sign they used to have.
Today, less than 100 original Arby's cowboy hat signs remain in the entire United States; Texas is one of the few states where you'll find them. Only a few Texas cities have them left.
Where can you find the original Arby's cowboy hat signs in Texas?
Sadly Austin USED to have one (it got torn down in 2020). The same goes for San Antonio. However some people have dedicated websites that keep track on where to find the original Arby's signs; most of the signs have either been removed or the buildings have been torn down or changed into different businesses.
As of right now, Waco at 723 N Valley Mills Dr. still has the original cowboy hat sign, and can still be found on Google Maps.
El Paso is another city in Texas with the giant cowboy hat signs. Not only do we have one location (the one that most of are familiar with is on Montana),
There's also the one on the Northeast on 9575 Dyer. So El Paso has TWO remaining signs.
As an added bonus, our neighbors in Las Cruces, New Mexico also has one of the remaining Arby's signs at 510 E Idaho Ave.
There's also a 3rd Texas city that you can find the big ol' hat; Wichita Falls still has one of the original signs located at 501 Holliday St, just off of I-44. HUGE thank you to Johnny Thrash from 106.3 The Buzz for the tip!
While most of the original signs are gone, you can still find these unique pieces of American history in Texas.
