Sonic Corp. today announced the opening of the 3500th drive-in, an occasion that highlights another significant landmark in the growth of the Sonic brand.
Earlier this month, Sonic’ss Chairman and CEO Cliff Hudson joined franchisee John Cywinski in Algonquin, Illinois, to celebrate the opening of the drive-in that has been ceremonially designated as the 3,500th Sonic Drive-In.
To commemorate the occasion, the Village of Algonquin Chamber of Commerce, Cywinski Enterprises and Sonic Corp., held a ribbon cutting at the drive-in.
“Despite Chicago’s winter weather, we are pleased by the warm welcome for Sonic from the community and are pleased to have served more than 20,000 customers in our first four weeks of business,” said John Cywinski, Cywinski Enterprises and Algonquin franchisee. “We are proud to open the 3,500th drive-in in Algonquin and look forward to delivering the wonderfully unique Sonic experience for years to come.”
The drive-in officially opened December 4, 2008.
