WEBSTER - The Friendly's restaurant on East Main Street has closed for good, leaving the familiar chain with about two dozen spots in Massachusetts. The Webster location's final day was Monday. The Wilbraham-based chain once had more than a dozen locations in the region, most of which have closed over the last decade-plus. A 2012 bankruptcy filing prompted the closing of restaurants in Tatnuck Square in Worcester, in White City Shopping Plaza in Shrewsbury and on Route 9 in Westborough. These days, many of the former locations have been reworked into other businesses.
