Well done.....from Friendly's worker to owner!!

Amol Kohli was once a busboy and waiter at Friendly's, the Wilbraham, Massachusetts-based restaurant chain he now owns under his investment group Legacy Brands.

Our Jubilee Roll is back and better than ever. You can now purchase our Jubilee Ice Cream Cake at your nearest Friendly’s. Just in time for the Holidays! ✨

Hello Friendly's folks!!!
For those of you who remember my dad, Jim Anderson, I have a favor to ask you!!

I'm putting together a surprise book of memories for my dad's 85th birthday next month. Please consider writing a favorite story about Jim Anderson and emailing it to me by July 10th at nowarur@ hotmail.com (or message me)

We are looking for any funny/special/memorable stories you might have about my dad and even fun pictures to illustrate them. We are going to collect all these stories and pictures into a book and present it to him for his birthday.

PLEASE feel free to send a private message to anyone else you think would like to get in on the birthday surprise!! Thanks so much!!
Penny

Hey there folks. Looks like there are fewer and fewer Friendly's around. I visited one in Maryland last summer and Lisa says there's one in Myrtle Beach. Who else knows of any that are open?

Join the fun today around 4:30 today to celebrate and bow out as Williams Street Friendly's closes this week.

Sad news.... the Lee's Hill Friendly's has closed :( The sign on the door says "lease expired, visit the other Friendly's on route 3"
