It is about damn time

Sonic commercials have been playing Nation Wide for the last few years...the closest Sonic to New England was in Pennsylvania. Not exactly making it easy for New Englanders to stop by for the happy hour drink specials from 2-4 that they advertise to have each day.

Many of my friends and I have jumped the chance to eat at a Sonic whenever we are in the South purely to find out if the chain is any good. Those commercials make you wonder! Good job to the advertising agency to keeping Sonic in our minds when it isn't even located in our state... We have all agreed that it is a step up from the usual set of fast food restaurants - I realize restaurants may not be the best term but I can't think of a more appropriate way to describe Burger King, McDonalds, Jack In the Box, etc - and would totally go back given the opportunity.

Well it appears that Sonic has decided it is time to break into our area! There will be one in Peabody, MA and they plan to break ground in June! This posting states that Senior Vice President of Business Planning Ritger "expects the first Sonic will draw consumers from far and wide in New England who are eager to check out the new arrival."

Clearly he doesn't understand RI and will hopefully learn that if he wants any of lil' Rhody's citizens to eat Sonic he will have to build a few within state lines. But, if someone in the area wants to check this place out, I am more than happy to ride shot gun!
