Iconic Colorado Sign Removed After Over 50 Years

If you've driven around certain parts of Denver, Colorado over the years you've probably noticed at least one fast food relic from years past, including a massive sign at an Arby's restaurant that, appropriately, looks like it came right out of the 1970s.

Unfortunately, one of the few of these signs remaining in Colorado was just taken down, leaving a void where the fast food landmark had been for over 50 years.

Upon taking over the spot that previously housed a retail store called Cycle City, there wasn't too much remarkable about the city of Denver's newest Arby's restaurant at the time.

The restaurant opened its doors at its iconic location at 7055 Federal Boulevard in 1970 but as the years passed, the massive sign reading, "Arby's Roast Beef Sandwich is Delicious" became more and more retro as time went on.

Unfortunately, after making quite a statement in this location for roughly 54 years, the sign was officially removed near the end of February 2024.

What's Going to Happen to Colorado's Iconic Arby's Sign?

Luckily, upon its removal, the massive Arby's sign that lit up Federal Boulevard for over half a century has already found a new home.

According to a Facebook page called Save the Signs, which regularly features notable old signs in the Centennial State, the sign is now the property of a resident of Steamboat Springs who collects these kinds of memorabilia and plans to eventually put the old sign on display at its new home.
