For example I am right now sitting in an Arby’s. I’m trying to figure out what business was here before Arby’s? Which would’ve been at least 20 years ago.

Is there a website or someplace that I could easily search this information at, preferably for free.

Edit: the arbys building was built when they moved in. I’m curious what business was there before.

    This is a good point. Franchises are less likely to have a recognizable corporate name, if they even own the property at all. But for more established companies or long-time small businesses, the owner entity’s name might be a good giveaway as to what they did.
