Plans For Former Doylestown Friendly's To Be Reviewed Wednesday

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Plans are in the works to repurpose the former Doylestown Friendly's.

An applicant is seeking a variance from the Doylestown Borough Zoning Hearing Board to turn the former Friendly's on N. Main Street into another restaurant.

Capital Enterprises Inc. is applying for a variance to permit outdoor dining to encroach within the required front yard setback. While the applicant has plans to repurpose the building into another restaurant, at this point it is not clear the name of that restaurant, sources said.

Borough Manager John Davis said the borough has not yet been made aware of the name of the restaurant Capital Enterprises represents. He said the application is for a generic restaurant.

Friendly's closed its Doylestown restaurant in 2014.

The Zoning Hearing Board will review the application on Wednesday, Jan. 16. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. Click here to view the full agenda.
