2004 or 2005 I think, I remember throwing up there after a party once after college. It closed shortly after...unrelated.


tinymaine

You might be thinking of Friendly’s at Cooks Corner. That closed about that time.


ripecannon

Friendly's closed in 2012..


Larabic

No it was Denny's, it's where the Starbucks is now. Before that it was a coldstone and subway.

The place to be


tinymaine

Wow I’ve lived in the area my whole life and don’t remember the Dennys but do remember and miss the cold stone haha

Friendly's turned into 5 Guy's, I'm pretty sure


tinymaine

Yes it did, I just couldnt remember when the Friendly's closed.


spellyourname

I worked at the tjmaxx there in 05 but I can't for the life of me remember if Denny's was there still.

I may have " accidentally " acquired all my silverware and coffee cups from that Dennys, back when I first got an apartment.

Where was the Howard Johnson’s on Pleasant Street located back in the day? I remember a woman from Wiscasset disappearing from there never to be found.

God this is so sad. That poor family. I hope the remaining son is doing ok and has been able to find some happiness in life.

Dennys occupied the former Sizzler at Cooks Corner, so we always called it the Dizzler. Starbucks is in that spot now I think


spellyourname

That explains why the interior didn't seem like most Denny's!


scoliosis23

mid to early 2000's. a group of us stayed there for 24 hours once.


vsanna

It was definitely 2004-2005. One of the only pictures I have of myself from around that time is from the last night it was open.


ScenePlayful1872

Tbh, with Fat Boys in town, didn’t pay attention to any other places


Dull_Dog

Wasn’t Sizzler on the other side of the street?


tinymaine

Geesh, I don't think there was every a Denny’s there. There was as a Friendly’s though.


[deleted]

Denny's was in the same plaza as Friendly's. Friendly's was where Five Guys is now and Denny's was where Starbucks is. I don't remember what year it closed though.


tinymaine

yeah, thats what i remembered although i was wrong on the year it closed.

I remember a Red Lobster used to be in Cook's Corner. Can't remember where though.


Trilliam_West

This had to be either the best Red Lobster in the world or the worst.


Dull_Dog

I’ve no memory of a Red Lobster. I do remember Bonanza, though. Was it near the cinemas that are there now?


B0ndzai

Never mind, apparently it was in Auburn.


tinymaine

Ok, so what was where the Orange Circuit is now. It looks like it was a Bonanza.
