Based on plans submitted to the city, this rendering what the SONIC Restaurant in Coral Springs may look like.

By: Sharon Aron Baron

SONIC Drive-in Restaurant will be heading to Coral Springs after the city commission voted to move forward on their conditional use approval at the January 17 meeting.

Location of new SONIC

The restaurant, located at the Coral Landings III plaza on the southeast corner of Sample Road and NW 62nd Avenue will include a carhop service and drive-thru.  The now empty parcel was originally approved in 2007 as a bank with a drive-thru. Also, PDQ Restaurant was also interested, but never materialized. 

SONIC’s Vice President of Development and Construction, Johnny Jones said the restaurant will open later this year. The franchisee, who will own and operate the new location, is in the early planning stages and working closely with the city of Coral Springs in order to commence construction.

 To date, SONIC has 3,593 drive-ins located in 45 states and continues to grow rapidly in new markets.
