Kind of a bummer. Their food isn't the best, but their ice cream is good. I have a lot of memories of going to Friendlys after various events. I remember going there after getting teeth pulled by an oral surgeon and having ice cream at 9 AM. Those were the days.
Hopefully they can turn things around. But with the sagging US economy and people not going out to eat as often as they were, I fear that this could mean the end for yet another American icon.
