PORTLAND, Ore. – cPort CU has purchased the site of an original Arby's restaurant on Forest Avenue and will renovate it into a branch.
The property's days as an Arby's date back to the late 1970s, when the restaurant was opened by Ken and Jim Raffel, sons of one of the founders of the roast beef sandwich chain. The chain was launched in 1964 by Leroy Raffel – Ken and Jim Raffel's father – and his brother, Forrest.
Arby's stands for RB's, for Raffel Brothers.
