Sonic's debut in Sandy Springs should be welcome news for fans of Steak 'n Shake which offered a similar menu but closed its restaurant a little over a mile north of the upcoming Sonic in late 2018 after more than 25 years in business.Ĭolumbus, Ohio-based red architecture + planning, which according to the firm's website has previously designed restaurants for Chipotle, Arby's, Noodles & Company, Which Wich and Burger King, among others, designed the upcoming Sonic in Sandy Springs. Materials reviewed by ToNeTo Atlanta indicate the new Sandy Springs Sonic will feature nine docks for "drive-in" service as well as a covered outdoor patio that may include lawn games. The Sandy Springs site presents some obvious (and other less obvious) challenges and as such will be a far smaller, more standard drive-thru restaurant that will still offer "drive-in" service. Known for its use of carhops on roller skates, most Sonic restaurants are in suburban markets where land is less expensive, and the company is able to build larger restaurants with more features.
The restaurant also offers breakfast with offerings such as breakfast burritos and French toast sticks. Sonic's menu relies heavily on classic fast food such as burgers, sandwiches, hotdogs, fries, tots, teas, lemonades, sodas, ice cream, slushies and shakes. Sandy Springs based Inspire Brands acquired Sonic for a cool $2.3 billion in late 2018. Sonic in early 2020 closed restaurants in Decatur and Tucker. In Georgia, the company's franchisees operate more than a dozen restaurants including those in Kennesaw, Lithia Springs, Norcross, Stone Mountain, Lawrenceville, Suwanee, Winder, Lithonia, and in southeast Atlanta on Moreland Avenue. Sonic Drive-In, known today as simply Sonic, is based in Oklahoma City and currently operates more than 3,500 locations nationwide.
