The Arby’s Restaurant in Magnolia on the White Horse Pike closed about 2 months ago, but their website still shows them as open… but only on Sundays! Ha!
So as you would expect the Magnolia Arby’s is 100% closed, and a call to the support team fully confirmed that closing. When I brought the location page (and hours) to their attention they told me it must some technical glitch for the location, which they will correct quickly.
But those Sunday-only hours have been picked up by Google’s business listing, and a even caught the attention of a Yelp reviewer who wondered about the odd operating hours!
Not that a call was needed to customer service… as all of the Arby’s branding and signage has been removed from the building, but I chatted with Arby’s today fully clarify what’s going on with the hours.
And more closely to the 42Freeway “wheelhouse” style storyline, it appears nothing is immediately planned to take over the space, and a commercial real estate sales firm has the property listed as Available For Lease. Sometimes business just close… and there isn’t always someone waiting to move right in.
This closed Arby’s is located next to Lowe’s Home Improvement and in front of Bill’s Wonderland of Pets!
Arby’s has other South Jersey locations open; Deptford, Turnersville, Audubon, Evesham and Willingboro. Check their location page:

In a nerdy “42Freeway Way” it’s mildly funny to go to the location page of Arby’s and see that they list the Magnolia location is listed right along with all the other still open New Jersey restaurants. When you click through to the Magnolia property page… it literally just offers Sunday as the hours.
And those “Sunday only” hours have been picked up by Google, Yelp and others.
So while it would seem far-fetched to think a fast food restaurant would be open just one day a week, a mid-November Yelp reviewer posted:
Only open on Sundays? Why? All the other Arby’s are open 7 days! They closed the location in Berlin and now the Magnolia location is only open on Sundays?
Yelp Reviewer – Arby’s Magnolia
Maybe that Yelp reviewer was being a bit “tongue-in-cheek”! Hopefully?
Surprisingly the online ordering buttons for the location are still functioning as I write this, and I quickly got as far as placing a full pick-up order for the closed Magnolia Arby’s location… and following their own listed hours the website suggested Sunday at 10:15 AM as the first available time! (Today is Wedneday)
So I first heard about this location closing back in early October and stopped then… at the time the signage was still in the building and a note was in the window saying they were closed.
I didn’t initially report on the closing as I was trying to find out if the franchise operator had plans to bring in a different restaurant(s) brand, which is something they did earlier this year in Berlin NJ.
Now don’t jump ahead… Unfortunately nothing is planned for the Magnolia location and it’s being marketed as “available for lease”.
So today I finally decided to put something online after getting another message from of reader regarding the status of the property. They fully realized the location was closed, but were asking if something was planned to come in to take over the property.
And then this morning I just so happened to be on the White Horse Pike to see that the building has now been completely stripped of all of its branding and signage… even the printed menu board for the drive-thru is blank.
So now the fate of the former Arby’s Magnolia building awaits a businessperson who sees value in the building and location, and decides to invest in opening their business there.
Soloff Realty & Development lists the building at 3,035 square feet with 38 parking spaces.
