Newport Creamery is a chain of restaurants in Rhode Island, Southern Massachusetts and Southeastern Connecticut. Since its first restaurant opened in 1940, it has been primarily known for ice cream and, later, the "Awful Awful" milkshake. The company is based in Middletown, Rhode Island. HistoryNewport Creamery began with Samuel Rector's Newport, Rhode Island dairy business in 1928.{{r|nehs}} Rector began as a wholesaler and started home delivery in 1932. In 1940, Rector and his son opened their first restaurant in nearby Middletown, where the company is still headquartered.{{r|nehs}}{{r|Arnold2004}}{{r|Ried2012}} For its first 13 years, the restaurant sold only ice cream, adding other food to the menu in 1953.{{r|ap}} In the 1950s and 1960s, it was franchised, eventually expanding to 33 restaurants.{{r|CTCtJ}}{{r|c5A28}} In the late 1990s, the company ran into financial trouble, losing money, deferring maintenance, and closing 12 of its locations. In 1999 the Rector family sold the chain to Florida businessman, Robert Swain, for $7.6 million. Swain tried to expand the business's geographic coverage into Massachusetts and Connecticut. The expansion was unsuccessful, and was followed by contraction.{{r|ap}} The company filed for bankruptcy protection in 2000.{{r|wySbY}} In 2001, Jan Companies, a local Burger King franchisee, purchased the company for only $1.55 million.{{r|aGfOo}} {{as of|2017}} the company has 12 locations in Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts and one in Mystic, Connecticut.{{r|ma70N}}Awful AwfulThe chain is known for Awful Awful milkshakes, made from blended syrups and a proprietary ice milk. The drink started at the New Jersey-based chain, Bond's, in the 1940s. The name comes from a Bond's customer who called it "awful big and awful good".{{r|nehs}}{{r|globe}} In 1948, Bond's licensed it to Newport Creamery and then to Massachusetts-based Friendly's.{{r|Beaulieu2012}} The terms of the license mandated the two New England businesses not sell it in New Jersey, leading the expanding Friendly's chain to rebrand it as a "Fribble", and later changing its formula to be more like a traditional milkshake with ice cream instead of ice milk. When Bond's went out of business in the 1970s, Newport Creamery purchased the trademark and continues the serve the original recipe.{{r|today}} References1. ^{{cite web |work=New England Historical Society |url=http://www.newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/rhode-islands-awful-awful-love-affair/ |accessdate=December 9, 2017 |title=Rhode Island's Awful Awful Love Affair: A History}} [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]2. ^{{cite web |work=New England Today |title=Awful Awful – A Classic Recipe, a Modern Favorite |last=Bourgault |first=Bethany |date=July 31, 2017 |url=https://newengland.com/today/living/new-england-nostalgia/awful-awful-classic-recipe-modern-favorite/}} 3. ^{{cite web |work=Boston Globe |title=Friendly's: A Timeline |last=Storrs |first=Francis |url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/magazine/2013/08/24/friendly-timeline-plus-scoop-fribble-history/0V27XFAC9SWBKgXOxTMdAM/story.html |date=August 24, 2013}} 4. ^{{cite book |author=Linda Beaulieu |title=Providence & Rhode Island Cookbook: Big Recipes from the Smallest State |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JQnAM_2CXdwC&pg=PA268 |date=18 December 2012 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=978-0-7627-9280-1 |pages=268–}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.newportcreamery.com/about |title=newport-creamery |website=newport-creamery}} 6. ^{{cite web |work=Newport Creamery |title=Newport Creamery Locations |url=https://www.newportcreamery.com/restaurant-locator|access-date=December 9, 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.southcoasttoday.com/article/20011207/news/312079958 |title=Newport Creamery has new owner |first=RICHARD LEWIS, Associated Press |last=writer |publisher=}} 8. ^{{cite journal |url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-8658536.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201040848/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-8658536.html |dead-url=yes |archive-date=1 December 2017 |title=NEWPORT CREAMERY FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY |date=28 June 2001 |publisher=}} 9. ^{{cite book |author=Adam Ried |title=Thoroughly Modern Milkshakes: 100 Thick and Creamy Shakes You Can Make At Home: 100 Classic and Contemporary Recipes |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ExnRCgAAQBAJ&pg=PT81 |date=25 June 2012 |publisher=W.
