End Of An Era? of the Day: Despite what the jingle would have you believe, it seems not enough people want to go to Friendly’s these days. The iconic Northeast eatery has just filed for bankruptcy, and announced the closure of 63 restaurants.

Though it looks pretty bad for the makers of Fribbles, 424 locations are expected to remain open for the time being; and confidence in the restructuring remained strong.

But there is plenty of work to be done if the 76-year-old equity firm-owned ice-cream parlor chain expects to turn its business around. “It’s horrible,” CRG Partners turnaround specialist Gene Baldwin told Reuters. “The facilities are terrible and need to be redone.”

“This is not, in my mind, about Friendly’s disappearing,” adds consultant Dennis Lombardi. “In fact, I think it’s reasonably likely that we’ll see Friendly’s a stronger brand five years from now.”

[npr / reuters.]

I think we single handedly kept friendly’s afloat this summer

Oh FUCK no. I will personally drop out of school, and go to Massasoit or something just so I can be in Hanover everyday eating at Friendly’s…. the one in Hanover isn’t closing, is it? I fuck dropping out of school, I will kill myself if the Hanover Friendly’s closes. That place was part of the Restaurant Crawl Twenty Eleven for God’s sake! This establishment is an American icon. I will go all crazy hippie on their asses and chain myself to the building. Inside, so that no one can leave and they’re forced to stay open.

Also, this is what happens when The Bros go to school… global catastrophe.

Every single fucking friendly’s near me (i think hanover too laur) are fucking closed. let me die. i learned the sad news on the way home last night. as we drove by friendlys it looked like it could be closed for the night NOT FOREVER. never again will i taste the delicious honey barbecue chicken supermelt. there is a hole in my heart where friendly’s should be. THIS IS NOT OKAY.

Fuck.

Everything.

Good bye cruel world.

WAIT did the one in the mall close, too?

WEYMOUTHS STILL OPEN BABY!

They’re everywhere in Suburban New England. Basically a second-rate Dairy Queen, based on the one time I went there.
