Sonic is coming to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA area in 2009. It will probably head into Upstate New York shortly thereafter.

I wish we had a Checkers/Rally's in the Syracuse area. Very good burgers. Also, I wish we had Church's Chicken back here again too.

Here are the sites for those establishments:Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc.

Church's Chicken

It's pretty much a southern version of White Castle

Hmmm, your list isn't accurate. Some of those chains are still in the Syracuse area...for example: Big Lots, Bon Ton, and Blimpie Subs. Like many of the chains in your list, Perkins left the Syracuse market over 15 years ago.... yet haven't tried coming back into the Syracuse market since. The suburbs around Syracuse have grown since then and I'm sure with the right location, many of those chains would do good business here.

Starbucks is closing three stores in the Syracuse market...1) Carrier Circle (who knows why they put one there in the first place...no one lives near there) 2) Sweetheart Corner in North Syracuse and 3) Route 11 in Cicero.

Why is Starbucks closing both stores that serve the eastern half of the northern suburbs? Stupid, stupid, stupid. That only leaves one Starbucks for all 150,000+ people in the northern suburbs! Plus the Starbucks on Route 57 in Clay is way out of the way for anyone living in the North Syracuse or Cicero area.

Starbucks should have chosen to leave either the Sweetheart Corner or Cicero stores open. That way the traffic from the one store would funnel into the other store. Both those stores are right road down the road from each other. Eliminating both stores is basically giving up on the 70,000+ people who live in the eastern part of the northern suburbs of Syracuse. Well, I guess Tim Horton’s(under construction), Dunkin Donuts, and Macdonald's among others will gain the patrons that Starbucks is losing....
