EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. --  Get a napkin ready, because your taste buds might go crazy and your mouth may start to salivate. 

Arby's, the fast food chain known for their roast beef sandwiches, is coming to the Edwards AFB Exchange. 

The chain began back in 1964, in Boardman, Ohio.  Founders Leroy and Forrest Raffel had a taste for something different other than burgers so they opened a sandwich shop. They served up hot, freshly-sliced roast beef sandwiches as fast as anyone could flip a burger.

Today, Arby's has more than 3,400 locations worldwide and will be replacing the Robin Hood sandwich shop in the Exchange food court. 

Along with roast beef sandwiches, the menu includes subs, market fresh sandwiches, chopped salads and chicken.  

No date is set, but the new restaurant is set to open early summer.
