When people think of chain restaurants, their minds typically go to global corporations that have thousands of individual branches: McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, and the like. However, there are plenty of smaller, regional chain restaurants in Connecticut that don’t have quite that much scope, but are just as recognized by those who live here. Whether you’re talking about Chip’s Family Restaurant or Duchess, there’s no shortage of Connecticut-based regional chain restaurants that are beloved by area residents. One of the most popular is the iconic Friendly’s, which got its start decades ago and is still quite popular today. Check it out:
