Advertisements

Unless they are looking for franchisees I fail to see why they advertise so much. I'm on the West side and there isn't one for about 40 miles I think.

Their food is garbage and you have to eat it in your car or outside. It's the such a stupid, outdated concept with terrible food. I don't' get why people like it all.
There are two Sonic Drive In one (1) in American Canyon
which is in Napa County near Napa , and one (2)in Vavaville
CA.

Interested?

Maybe you can own your own Sonic on the Westside.
I know there was one in Fort Lauderdale on the beach that wasn't a drive in type.

According to yelp it looks like it closed

Even though it was on the beach, the beaches in FL aren't as busy year round of course. The bad yelp reviews probably didn't help.
It's amazing the difference between in season and off season. In L.A places are pretty busy about the same amount it seems and not as seasonal due to the weather.

Sonic isn't that great. The drinks are the best part about it really. LA has shake shack now anyway so why do you even need to go to another burger place?

Because we don't all live/work by the Shake Shack.

Guess it depends where you live. I'd be surprised if they don't eventually open locations in other areas like the Westside and SFV.
