Sonic began in 1953 in Shawnee,
Oklahoma. Today, we franchise and
operate the largest chain of drive-
in restaurants in the country, with
more than 3,500 Sonic Drive-Ins
from coast to coast.
Our drive-in experience, together with
a unique menu and personalized Carhop
service, positions us as one of the most
highly differentiated concepts in the
quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry.
At a typical Sonic Drive-In, customers
park in one of 16 to 24 canopy-covered
spaces and place orders through a speaker
system. A smiling Carhop delivers the
customer’s order car-side. Customers
also may enjoy patio dining or drive-thru
service at many Sonic locations.
Sonic Drive-Ins feature signature
menu items, offering made-when-you-
order footlong quarter pound coneys,
six-inch premium beef hot dogs,
hamburgers, popcorn chicken, chicken
strips and chicken sandwiches. Likewise,
we are famous for our fresh-made onion
rings and tater tots, and we offer a full
breakfast menu all day, including a
delicious line-up of Breakfast Burritos.
We also are known for our extensive
range of Frozen Favorites®treats and
Fountain Favorites®drinks, like Cherry
Limeades, real fruit slushes, shakes and
blasts, making Sonic Your Ultimate Drink
Stop®. Sonic also offers a variety of
choices for health-conscious customers,
such as apple slices and many low-calorie
drinks, 20,064 in fact, including a diet
version of our classic Cherry Limeade.
