Food Technologist
Friendly’s is a company founded on ice cream but built
around families. We opened our first Friendly's Ice Cream Shop in 1935.
Friendly's is a place where hungry people can sit together, eat together,
joke together and debate about who has the best way to eat an ice cream
sundae, where sons can find out why lefty pitchers are harder to hit and
where families can meet up to get an extra fifteen minutes of talk time
over our famous ice cream made in our manufacturing facility located in
Wilbraham Massachusetts.
For over 70 years, we've built a place that brings you a
friendly staff, reasonable prices, and a thousand sweet ways to end your
day. That's why we truly are the one place Where Ice Cream Makes The Meal®.
