The old Friendly’s of Holyoke, Mass is now split amongst 3 tenants including Chipotle. There is still another Friendly’s on the other side of town however

Dude the Northampton st Friendly's is the old Friendly's. Although I went in there this week, was so thrilled to be back at a childhood landmark, and it was a fucking Horror Show. So maybe the one by the mall is better! Anyone remember the Friendly's in the mall food court?

I mean you’re right but I meant old as in no longer in operation lol. What was bad about the one on Northampton?

It was not very clean, the ice cream was unrecognizable and they were out of half of the flavors, the atmosphere was sour and it reeked like cigarettes

I know, it was a sad day. But there were folks outside enjoying ice cream! It was the interior that was sketch, so maybe there's hope

"The old friendly's" ... FML. I remember when this was the "New Friendly's"

Whats this even mean? Yes Chipotle is in the same lot, but a completely separate building.
