Friendly's Express Coming to Mansfield

A new chain of fast casual restaurants from Friendly's debuts in Mansfield this week, with an emphasis on takeout food and fast service.

According to the Boston Globe, Wilbraham-based Friendly Ice Cream Corporation is opening Friendly's Express in Mansfield tomorrow (Wednesday, August 5), with the new spot featuring counter service and a smaller space than the original Friendly's restaurants. The Globe mentions that Friendly's Express will have a more limited menu, with items such as salads, sandwiches, and, of course, ice cream. All items on the menu at Friendly's Express will be under $10. The Boston Globe also reports that another Express will open sometime this year in either Boston or Providence, with five more on the way to the region in 2010.

The new Friendly's Express will be located in the Mansfield Marketplace on School Street, which is south of Mansfield Center and just west of Route 140 (near the intersection of Routes 140 and 495).
