They have an advertising campaign out right now promoting their new

They copy that campaign from AOL


It's the same promotion Hardee's did a few years ago.


Hardee's really did improve their food, so it worked. They went from
way below average, to above average. Wendy's is pretty marginal, and
Arby's is near the bottom of the barrel, occupying a position not far
above Rally's/Checkers.
If Arby's wants to improve their food, they need to steal these folks'
model:
