Arby’s employees ‘confused’ after store closes without warning
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Workers are put up against the clock as their jobs hang in the balance.
Daundre Frazier told 19 News his work family was torn apart when the Arby’s on Chester Avenue and East 22nd Street in Cleveland was shut down without warning.
“It was Monday morning when we all found out, “ said Frazier. “It’s like we’re scheduled to work we got bills and stuff to pay and it was just a whole bunch of commotion.”
Frazier says when he came into work last Monday his other coworkers were cleaning out the store–saying they didn’t find out about the move until they came in for their shift.
Cashayliana Jones says she was supposed to be starting this week.
“I was really confused like did anyone know about this or did it come out of the blue,” said Jones.
Frazier says even though they didn’t hear about the closure until the 10th they received this letter that was written on the 6th about the closure.
Stating if they stayed and helped clean up the store they could transfer to other Arby’s locations.
But Frazier says that wont work for a lot of his team.
“Everybody who works here lives within 10 minutes, “ said Frazier. “Ubering, Lyfting, and catching the bus are gonna cost more money than they bring in for working.”
Putting people in a bind right before the holidays.
“They didn’t let us know because they didn’t think we would come in and do the cleaning duties they needed us to do, but they never gave us that option,” said Frazier.
“We could have been looking for another job,” said Frazier. That would have been the courtesy for them.”
Our team reached out to Arby’s with these concerns twice, but hasn’t heard back.
“Everybody who works here is like a family, we all treat each other like brothers and sisters,“ said Frazier. “When that happened we were all just like shocked.”

2025 Ohio State running back target decommits from Alabama after visit to Columbus
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Four-star 2025 running back Anthony “Turbo” Rogers decommitted from Alabama on Sunday afternoon.
The Buckeyes have long been after his commitment, and it appears they could be on the verge of getting him to flip his pledge from Alabama.
Rogers, at 5-foot-8 and 190 pounds, is the No. 141 overall prospect and No. 8 running back in the 247Sports.com composite rankings. He attends Carver High School in Montgomery, Ala.
He was on campus for an official visit for the Purdue game just over a week ago. Rogers will make a decision between Ohio State and Georgia on National Signing Day on Wednesday, Dec. 4.
Ohio State has two running backs already committed in the 2025 class in Isaiah West and Bo Jackson, and Rogers would give them some needed depth after the tandem of Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson likely both depart at season’s end.
Heading into next season, that would give the Buckeyes five scholarship running backs barring any transfers. Sam Williams-Dixon and James Peoples are currently freshmen in the running back room.
