(OKLAHOMA CITY) – Famous for its Cherry Limeades and friendly Carhop service, SONIC®, America’s Drive-In®, is opening the first Madison-area., drive-in in mid-January. The SONIC Drive-In will be located at 6413 University Ave in Middleton, Wis. Additional SONIC Drive-Ins will be developed in the Madison-area over the next several years.

SONIC’s unique dining experience lets guests order at the push of a button, receive made-when-you-order meals from a smiling Carhop and eat, all in the comfort of their own vehicle.

“We are thrilled to bring SONIC to Middleton,” said Brad Bailey and Paul Frautschi operating partners for the Middleton, Wis., SONIC Drive-In. “We are looking forward to serving the residents of Middleton and the surrounding area and delivering the fun Carhop service SONIC Drive-Ins are known for across the country.”

SONIC, which specializes in made-when-you-order fast food, is known for its specialty menu items and personal service. Unique drink combinations make SONIC Your Ultimate Drink Stop!Ò SONIC’s slow-melting ice helps drinks stay cool and keeps them cooled longer while maintaining flavor.

The Middleton SONIC will be open from 6 a.m. - 11 p.m., seven days a week, giving residents and students the opportunity to drive-in and start their day with a delicious breakfast, whether it be the Extra-Long Cheese Coney or Breakfast Toaster Sandwich. SONIC’s full menu is available all day, giving guests the option of eating breakfast for dinner or ordering a SONIC Blast in the morning.

Favorites include TOASTER® Sandwiches (sandwiches served on thick Texas Toast), Extra-Long Cheese Coneys (hot dogs with chili and cheese), fresh hamburgers, handfresh-made Onion Rings, Tater Tots and a variety of Ffrozen Favorites® treats and Fountain Favorites® drinks. SONIC’s ever-growing menu is full of options to satisfy every taste, such as Real Fruit Smoothies.

Just another major reason why the West Side is way better than the East. We have everything including the number 1 city! WEST SIIIYYDE

I cant believe all you whiners bitch about driving to the west side. You act like its hours and hours away. Its 20 freaking minutes max. I can make it from West Towne Mall to East Towne Mall in 20 minutes flat.

I would like to see one by the East Side/Sun Prairie, along with many others...... I won't drive to the West Side just to eat.

OMG.....YAY! Sonic Burgers ROCK. As do their cheese covered tater tots. My softball team goes to Florida every year for a tournament and we literally get off the plane and drive right to Sonic. I cant wait for them to open here.

I agree, I'm sick of going west for everything, we have money on the east side too ya know!

Posted by: Sonicless Location: Sun Prairie on Oct 10, 2008 at 06:25 AM
I thought Sun Prairie was getting one. I am tired of having to drive to the West side for everything. Bring over Sonic and Cold Stone Creamery,too.

Sure do wish they would have opened in the summer....I have been watching those commercials for years, and every time it's over 80 degrees I want to drive to Texas for a mango smoothie...I don't think that it will appeal mush to me when it's below 60....sigh

I am so glad that Sonic is finally making it here! I wish we could get one in Baraboo!!!
