It's a sad day in Massachusetts, when on October 5, 2011, Friendly's files for Bankruptcy, and 3 of the 4 restaurants goes out of buisness. One in Fitchburg, 2 of the 3 here in Leominster (Massachusetts).
We visit the one at The Mall at Whitney Field, which is the oldest of the four, being in the exact same spot since 1972. The second one was at Monument Square, downtown, featured prominently in many festival/downtown videos.
The one that survived closing (for now), is the mid-point between the cities, on Routes 2 and 12, Leominster.
Hopefully, this chain will not go away.

64 restaurants in the chain are closing, 30 here in Massachusetts. 2 here, and  the only one in Fitchburg (John Fitch Highway), among the casualties.
