Friendly's Ice Cream Chain - Closing all Locations in Ohio

All Friendly’s restaurants in Ohio permanently closed Sunday and Monday, including four in the Akron-Canton area.

All 14 of the locations — which served Friendly’s signature items such as Fribbles, SuperMelt sandwiches and Wattamelon Rolls — were owned by Friendly’s franchisee Apex Eagle Hospitality Inc., according to a Friendly’s spokesman.

“These closings are regrettable, however continuing operation was no longer viable,” said a statement released by the Friendly’s company on behalf of Apex Eagle Hospitality.

The Akron-Canton area restaurants were at 3921 Medina Road (state Route 18) in Bath Township; 2934 South Arlington Road in Coventry Township; 4490 Everhard Road in Jackson Township and 2030 Wales Ave. in Massillon. Other Northeast Ohio-area stores were in Westlake, Parma Heights and Middleburg Heights.
