Friendly's on Route 1 in Norwood passes along the following event:
On Thursday, August 29, Friendly’s on Providence Highway will unveil a completely refreshed appearance and updated menu to the public. The restaurant, which originally opened its doors in 1980, is one of the first locations to take part in the company’s ongoing initiative to reposition the brand and bring it back to its roots by recreating the iconic Friendly’s dining and ice cream experience.
The celebration will kick-off with the one-hour distribution of FREE sundae cups to the general public in attendance at the event (11 a.m.). Immediately following will be visit from recently-appointed Friendly’s CEO John Maguire and Norwood Selectman Paul Bishop who will celebrate the restaurant’s re-launch by serving guests the location’s first official scoop of ice cream (around noon).
From 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m., children can also request a FREE creation from the balloon artist and face painter.
Friendly’s will continue the celebration through Wednesday, September 11, by offering $1 Happy Ending sundaes to guests.
