Sonic began in 1953 in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Today, we
franchise and operate the largest chain of drive-in
restaurants in the country, with approximately 2,900 Sonic
Drive-Ins from coast to coast and in northern Mexico.
Our drive-in restaurant
experience, together
with a unique menu and
personalized carhop
service, position us as
one of the most
highly differentiated
concepts in the
restaurant
industry's quick-
service sector.
Sonic Drive-Ins
feature signature
items, offering made-
when-you-order
Toaster® Sandwiches,
hamburgers and other
sandwiches, Extra-Long
Cheese Coneys, hand-
battered Onion Rings, Tater
Tots, and a variety of Frozen
Favorites® desserts and
Fountain Favorites® drinks,
including Cherry Limeades,
Slushes and Cream Pie Shakes.
Sonic also offers a variety of
choices for health-conscious
customers, including Fresh Tastes™ salads.
At a typical Sonic Drive-In, customers order from one of 24
to 36 canopy-covered spaces through an intercom speaker
system. A carhop delivers the customer's order curbside,
usually within four minutes. Customers also may stop at a
drive-thru window at most Sonics.
