Can FRIENDLY's Be Saved? Trying The Dying Chain - Friendly's Ice Cream and Menu Review

Do any of you remember Friendly's? It may have been mostly based in the northeast, but at least where I grew up Friendly's was once immensely popular. So much so that at its peak Friendly's had over 800 locations, but now they are down to barely 100. That is like a 90% reduction in locations! But why is Friendly's, once known as Friendly's Ice Cream, dying out? Is it the food? Is it the ice cream? Is it the decor and the atmosphere? Is it competition? We will delve into the Friendly's menu and also try the ice cream at a Friendly's near me to see why Friendly's is declining and why Friendly's is dying out. I do not remember liking the food much there, I remember it being extremely mediocre and akin to like Applebee's, but probably worse. But we will try it and see if any of the nostalgic items from my childhood, like the Friendly's sundaes, particularly the Friendly's monster mash sundae, still live up to my memory and if they are good enough to survive in 2024, 2025 and beyond!
