        Testimonials
The help and support from corporate made it a no-brainer to continue what I started and open more stores with Sonic.
Sonic has such great brand recognition, which is something you really want in a franchise. The building layouts, the carhops, the huge menu, the drinks, everything about that is very appealing.
SONIC is very unique in that it is the last of the major brands/chains that continues to embrace and be driven by the entrepreneurial spirit where the Franchisee still has a major voice and influence on the direction of the Brand.
The support from other SONIC franchisees is amazingly cooperative, from ideas to sharing of financial information. And the people are what makes the Sonic Brand simply the best franchised brand out there. The support from all facets of the SONIC organization has been second to none. SONIC lends support where needed, but also allows our entrepreneurial spirit to thrive in our individuality. This is invaluable.
We are proud to have pioneered the Brand in San Diego DMA. Sonic's support of our store operations and development activity has been outstanding. Additionally, our same store sales growth has been impressive as we enjoy the results of SONIC'S increased national media exposure.
Our franchisor's management style is very focused on involvement from franchisees and working together as a team. I really feel that we and the brand are just scratching the surface for what can be possible in the future.
Sonic is a great and established brand that is penetrating some of the nation's best markets. The potential for growth is so exciting and my family feels so lucky to be a part of it.
Being a franchisee has been a good investment opportunity for our family. SONIC has been very helpful to us starting our new journey into the restaurant business.
The SONIC business has been very rewarding in many ways to me and my family. While there are so many things different about SONIC today, the fundamentals of the SONIC business and the vision of Troy Smith have remained constant through the years.
