The sale of the Friendly's restaurant chain has been finalized and the owners have announced their plans going forward.

Now that the sale of the chain has been finalized, what does the future hold for our only existing Friendly's location?

The company announced in a press release that they sold "substantially all of its assets" to Amici Partners Group, LLC as part of their Chapter 11 filing.

Friendly's Restaurant in Sangertown Square is closing up shop.  They'll serve their last scoop of ice cream Sunday.  There has been no comment from anyone at Sangertown Square of the restaurant closing.
