Sonic Industries Inc. was founded in 1973. In 1974, Sonic acquired the name “Sonic Drive-In” from Troy Smith, Sr., and began franchising. Smith used his more than 15 years of experience in the restaurant business to develop and operate the Sonic franchise program.
A wholly owned subsidiary of Sonic Corp., the company is based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and has locations throughout the United States. The company’s storefronts recently got a facelift to give them a “retro-futuristic” look.
