After opening a second store in West Springfield Massachusetts, the Blake brothers added food to their business
The Blake brothers added more sophisticated ice cream options to the menu, in addition to the “Friendly Burger.” One of these choices was the Blake brothers’ version on a banana split, the “One Dandy,” now called the “Jim Dandy.”
Friendly, a network of 500 restaurants in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest United States, has been growing since 1974
Curtis Blake was the president of the company. He attributed the majority of the chain’s success to his brother.
