“Now hiring n***ers and whores,” it read.
Police officers removed the message by 7 a.m., according to WCCO.
Arby’s released a statement on Saturday afternoon apologizing for the sign.
“Overnight, a reader board at an Arby’s restaurant on Brooklyn Blvd was compromised, and someone put up a message that was extremely offensive,” said a spokesperson. “The message has since been taken down. We’re cooperating with local law enforcement officials and will take appropriate action against those involved. We apologize to everyone exposed to that message.”
