Years ago Friendly’s used to be one of my fave places for a nice quick reasonable meal/treat. There were 2 Friendly’s in York, PA. They have both been closed and gone now for a number of years. In both cases it was lousey management that caused their failure. Some of the last times I visited either, the non-carpeted areas were so coated with grease that you could skate on them, and the whole place just SMELLED DIRTY! There is one remaining on the York By-pass that is merely O.K. Not real shiney!
The other close one to me now is on Carlisle Pike near Mechanicsburg, and the last time I stopped there it seemed to be headed in the exact same direction. Dirty and stinky! Discerning customers will NOT put up with that kind of stuff!
There’s another Friendly’s on Rte. 611, outside of Stroudsburg. Sometimes we stop in there when we go to The Crossings Outlets in Tannersville. (I-80)
