Complete renovation starts

If you’ve been wondering when Sonic is going to get a new look, the answer is Monday. In what promises to be a whirlwind of activity, construction crews will descend on our local store and totally revamp it in roughly a week.

‘In five to seven days, they’re going to change the whole look of the store,’ said manager Steve Hannah, who stressed Sonic will remain open during renovations. ‘It’s a $240,000 renovation and it’s going to be pretty. Sonic wants a new look and we’re going to get one starting Monday.’

Steve wants to apologize in advance for an inconvenience caused to customers during renovation work. He says parking may be limited as certain areas are blocked off as they are being repaired.

‘The weather is pretty tough on our communication system so we’re getting all new speakers,’ said Steve. ‘We’re getting new menu boards, new lights, a new front and a new picnic area with bright tables. But the real eye-catcher is going to be out front. We’re getting an outside bubble with a big tower. It’s really going to attract attention.’

Steve credits the success of our local Sonic to owner Bill Inzer and says the restaurant has great employees. He says the goal at Sonic is to provide people with quality food that’s always fresh. He added that customers should have their food no longer that 3 minutes and 30 seconds after they push the button to order.
