Arby's chain to be sold

Dublin, Ohio -- Wendy's/Arby's Group said Thursday it plans to sell off its struggling Arby's quick-serve chain to focus on the Wendy's hamburger business.



The two fast-food chains were combined when Triarc Cos., Arby's parent, bought Wendy's for $2.2 billion in 2008 to create the third-largest publicly held fast-food chain.



Arby's generated about 30% of the company's sales in its third quarter.



At least one analyst feels the sale could bring in $400 million to $600 million.
