Sonic Drive-In , the popular fast-casual restaurant featuring servers on skates, is preparing to open a new location in Gainesville at 6421 SW Archer Rd.
The new location is the latest from franchise owner Andrew Brophy , who also owns the Sonic Drive-In at 2162 Nw 39th Avenue in Gainesville. There is no exact opening date, but the company is awaiting a processing plan review application from the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation. The fast-food restaurant was originally proposed west of Interstate 75, and the development board approved the plans in 2021. Now, the franchisee is getting closer to opening another location.
When the new Sonic Drive-In opens, it will sit on a vacant plot of land near the Town Square Shopping Center. Customers can expect various American fast food options, such as burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, slushies, and more. Sonic Drive-In continues to pique customers’ interest with its limited-time deals, most recently offering a peanut butter and bacon burger and milkshake.
