Valerie Hall+FollowOnly 5 TGI Fridays left in MassachusettsTGI Fridays, once a go-to spot for loaded potato skins and family dinners, is down to just five locations in Massachusetts. The chain, which had 600 restaurants nationwide at its peak, has been hit hard by fewer people dining out and rising costs. With only a handful of spots left in Boston, Everett, Methuen, Millbury, and Stoughton, it’s a sign of how much the local dining scene is changing. Have you noticed your favorite places closing? What do you think it’ll take for restaurants to bounce back? #Food #MassachusettsEats #TGIFridays00Share
Mrs. Jessica Morgan+FollowWhere Did All the TGI Fridays Go?Remember when TGI Fridays was the go-to spot for after-work apps and cocktails? Now, you might have to road trip to find one. The chain has shrunk from 300+ locations to just 85 in the U.S. after a rough patch with bankruptcy and pandemic struggles. For diners, that means fewer places for those loaded potato skins—so if you spot a Fridays, it’s almost a unicorn! #Business #TGIFridays #RestaurantNews00Share
Michael Alvarez+FollowAtlanta server’s kindness sparks debateA TGI Fridays server at Atlanta’s airport comforted a stressed toddler and his mom, and the moment went viral—drawing millions of views and tons of praise.

It’s got folks talking about what real appreciation looks like for frontline workers. Would you expect more from a big brand, or is the community’s response what really matters? #Food #Atlanta #TGIFridays10Share
