Friendly's had 254 restaurants after emerging from federal bankruptcy protection in 2012, according to MassLive. The company, which was founded in 1935 in Springfield, Massachusetts, was purchased by Dallas-based Dean Foods Co. in 2016.
There are now 224 Friendly's locations across the United States, mainly in the Northeast.
