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.

    Four almost-foolproof ways come to mind

    1. Ask the neighbors.
    2. Search property records.
    3. Search business license records.
    4. Search tax records.

    Bonus: Ask the local chamber of commerce.

    ETA: Search old phone books. Ask the local librarian.
