“In the harsh economic times that we currently find ourselves in, it is encouraging when we see businesses thriving, employing our residents and contributing to our local economy,” said Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano. “It is my pleasure and honor to join Friendly’s as they celebrate this milestone anniversary here on Long Island. I wish them continued success and thank them for being a great corporate citizen.”
