From the Scranton Times-Tribune...
Friendly's closes South Abington and Dallas restaurants
Twenty years ago, Friendlys had almost 1,200 units, and uniquely, all company-owned. No franchises. Now they have less than 500. Sad.
Then again, there was this Wilkes-Barre-based restaurant manager some 25 years ago who told those self-impressed boys from Wilbraham, Massachusetts that neither their sub-par menu items nor their ridiculous penchant for cooking out of microwaves would cut it. Yup! That was your author.
Later.
