If you were hungry at lunchtime Thursday, you could have eaten for free, as Arby’s was giving away turkey sandwiches from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. A sign announcing the giveaway was posted Monday at the entrance to the restaurant on East Van Fleet Drive.
“This is the first time our stores in this area have done this,” said Assistant Manager Tiffany Meyer, who often serves as the assistant general manager, as the general manager runs the Winter Haven store. “People ask why we’re doing this. It’s to introduce our new sandwiches.” She added it is part of a push promoting healthier choices at the fast food establishment.
