The Friendly's Restaurant in Rockville has been shut since 2005 although it was profitable, sources say it was underperforming compared to other locations. Although the Rockville Development Authority said it didn't expect the site to sit vacant for very long however, its been almost 6 years and nothing has changed.
The Friendly's site is a mirror image of the failed Bennigan's Grill and Tavern located on Hartford Tpk. The Bennigans closed due to "economic conditions" and the property is facing foreclosure. Unlike the Friendly's site, the former Bennigan's site has more space, a larger parking lot, and a much newer structure, not to mention the close proximity to the highway. With the quick expansion of Sonic across CT and the North East could this be the newest spot for one of their franchises?
