Cherry Hill Restaurant Abruptly Closes

The Friendly's restaurant in the Garden State Pavilions in Cherry Hill, NJ has closed without notice, according to the Courier-Post.  A sign on the restaurant's door is directing customers and employees to the Friendly's in Marlton.

In addition to Marlton, Friendly's still has several other locations in South Jersey, including Mt. Laurel and Mt. Holly.  Wikipedia says that the restaurant chain, which is best-known for it's ice cream, was founded in 1935 in Springfield, MA.  Friendly's was owned by the Hershey Foods Corporation between 1979-1988.
