Friendly’s on Davis Straits Reveals a New Look and Refreshed Menu

On Saturday, April 19th, Friendly’s on Davis Straits will unveil a refreshed appearance and updated menu to the public. The restaurant, which originally opened its doors in 1988 and is owned and operated by franchising partner ARAL Restaurant Group, is one of the many 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 Friendly’s team is excited to introduce guests to a redesigned menu that features new dishes like the Friendly’s All-American Dog, Turkey Tips and Bananas Foster Pancakes as well as improvements on classics like the Fishamajig. In addition, the refurbished restaurants boast updated interiors and exteriors that evoke a timeless appearance that’s both bright and cheery.

The celebration will kick-off with a visit from Falmouth Board of Selectmen vice chairman Doug Jones, selectmen Kevin Murphy and Mary Pat Flynn, Falmouth Chamber of Commerce President Jay Zavala and Friendly’s CEO John Maguire who will celebrate the restaurant’s re-launch by serving guests the location’s first official scoop of ice cream. Additionally, starting at 2PM FREE sundae cups will be distributed to the general public in attendance at the event.
