I'm sad about McDonald's leaving the Thruway - I have small tradition of stopping at the Angola East plaza when driving to/from upstate NY and getting food at McDonald's, which I typically don't eat. But I learned something new about these restaurant partnerships, so thanks for that! Makes me wonder about how much longer Roy Rogers will be a fixture on the PA Turnpike.
Good question! For me, my NY Thruway treat was Roy Rogers, which sadly also disappeared for good in this contract change. I'll keep you updated on what I hear about Roy's in PA!
I always enjoy your posts and research. I live in Akron and as long as I can remember the closest Arbys had that hat sign. I haven’t been there since before Covid, I’ll have to see if it’s still there

Appreciate that and thank you! I hope it's made it!
