Rumors are going around they are looking at the former Krispie Kreme building on the Berlin Turnpike in Newington.

I'd be nice for something to go in that building, but I'm sure there would be disputes with the neighbors who fought Krispy Kreme (and look what happened to them). Citibank was fine there because it was just a bank. But I have a feeling the Town of Newington will discourage any restaurant from opening there. It must have to do with the residents in the Hopkins Street area. Although I have no idea why the town would discourage any business wanting to open these days. Why would they allow it to sit empty if someone wants to lease it?

Well, I have yet to try their food, but the Sonic in Greensburg, in the parking lot of Big Lots, next to the Greengate Center, is open. Being I am from the time of sitting in your car and having chicks rollerskate your food to your car, this should be a treat for me. I love that nostalgic crap. Will post my opinion when I have the dough to drop in there. gas prices suck here...

I ate there when I stayed at the Knights Inn in Greensburg back in June.  It was ok, but I wasn't impressed.  I didn't think it lived up to the hype.

They are building one here in Parma, Oh it's supposed open on August 29th.  We'll see how it is.

The Peabody, Massachusetts locations is supposedly opening August 26th

I see nothing on their website though, and no recent articles about this.
Supposedly though another Sonic will open in New England Summer of 2010

I was listening to The Andelman's on WTKK 96.9 out of Boston last Saturday and they said the opening of the Peabody Store has been delayed until October. (The show is officially called The Phantom Gourmet, but they don't talk much about food).

Here are some pics I snapped with my Blackberry of the Parma, Oh Sonic, which is opening Saturday August 29:









Not the best pics but I didn't have my camera with me.

The new Sonic in Peabody, Mass is a huge hit. So much in fact it's causing traffic back ups and they've had to hire cops to direct traffic.

I kn ow it was as I went there the first day and the traffic was soo backed up on Rt. 1 and backed up getting in and I saw the direct cops. Why waste hours of your life for fast food and there were long lines.

That is the only one near me.

Well, my original theory of them not coming to the Northeast was blown out of the water. They've pushed into the area with great results over the past couple of years. The one here in Kingston does well, and as of right now is the farthest north(at least for NY). There's one in Poughkeepsie now, and the owner of that franchise has plans to open more locations throughout the Mid and Lower Hudson Valley. Also, a couple more have opened in northern New Jersey, and one near Allentown, PA. The real test will come for this winter. It will be interesting to see how it pans out. But from the way things have gone so far, I wouldn't worry much.

the pa sonics by me are
Hanover
Red Lion
Lancaster
Mt Joy
Palmyra
Ephrata
:insane:

Sonic has been in Southern New Jersey for about two years now, and the locations (Millville, Manahawkin, Somers Point, and Waretown) are doing great business, even during the winter.  

The one in HOWELL NJ is rocking as well.

Mount Holly NJ and Rio Grande NJ are getting SONICS ...........both these towns have a closed down wendys and taco bells in them.

The closed down Wendy's in Rio Grande became R&B Roasters in Summer 2008, and is now a Japanese restaurant or something along those lines. The closed down Taco Bell is now Alfredo's Pizza.
