Friendly's

In 1935, the Blake Brothers founded their first ice cream shoppe in Springfield, Massachusetts and named it “Friendly.” The name was a promise that the small ice cream shoppe would be a friendly place for families to enjoy a meal together. We still believe in that promise. Today, you can still find your long-time Friendly’s favorites on the menu! From made-to-order Friendly’s Big Beef® Burgers to the homemade ice cream at the end of your meal, we have dedicated our lives to making the Friendly’s you remember, one that your children (and theirs!) can celebrate for years to come.

At Friendly’s, we’ve been serving up ice cream and delicious fun since 1935. Back then, we only had one restaurant in Springfield, MA. But once our ice cream and supermelts started to catch on, we realized we couldn’t possibly keep all the flavor to ourselves. So we spread the yum around. Come try us for yourself.
