And now there are 5 local Friendly's
Friendly's closed five more of its Capital Region locations Sunday night. [WTEN]
The company had 15 locations in the Capital Region before closed six locations here last fall when it filed for bankruptcy. A spokesperson tells the TU this most recent group of closures is the result of not being able to work out new lease agreements. (The company was sold for $75 million at the end of December to an affiliate of the private equity firm that had bought it for $337 million five years ago.) [AOA] [TU] [Boston Globe]
That leaves five Friendly's in this area: East Greenbush (Troy Road), Troy (Hoosick Street), Clifton Park (Route 146), Saratoga Springs (Route 50), and Queensbury (Aviation Road). [Friendly's]
(Thanks, Daniel)
Earler on AOA: With bankruptcy on the horizon, Daniel ate the Buffalo chicken sliders at Friendly's.

What about the Crossgates one? I don't see that one on the list of closures, but it's not listed as remaining either.

Okay, I can understand closing one of the Latham locations, but not both. And I thought the one on Hoosick Street closed eons ago; shows what I know, eh?
