My Favourite Restaurant Chain Closed Its Last Location Permanently
The sole remaining location of a regional chain of restaurants and ice cream shops inside Route 128 has shut down.
According to a source along with a Boston Globe article, Friendly’s at Logan Airport in East Boston is no longer in business, with this being the last outlet within the Boston city limits and the closest remaining Friendly’s to the city being in Norwood, Peabody, and Weymouth.
The only standalone location inside Route 128 closed in the fall of 2019, with that one being in Stoneham.
Friendly’s, which is headquartered in Wilbraham, was first established in Springfield in 1935.
