A staple restaurant in downtown Unionville has a closed sign on its front door.
You won't be able to eat at the Friendly's in the center of Unionville on Sunday.
"This location is currently closed, but our Avon and Bristol locations are open," a sign on the door said Sunday morning.
No reason was given for the closure and it's unclear if that means Friendly's has closed permanently or just for the time being. NBC Connecticut made numerous calls to Friendly's corporate offices, but could not immediately reach a spokesperson for comment.
The Friendly's in Unionville has long been a local hangout in town, with several families going for food or ice cream after various school concerts and events.
The restaurant was remodeled in 1998 and is one of the first businesses you see when you drive into the Stop & Shop plaza off Route 4 in Unionville.
Parking LLC co-owns the building with Friendly's Restaurant Services in Wilbraham, Massachusetts. The national franchise has been around since 1935, according to the Friendly's website.
Friendly's filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October of 2011, closing 63 under-performing restaurants that year, including seven in Connecticut. The company closed nine more in January of 2012.
