From a press release….I guess it’s a little closer to Lansing.

Want to go to Flint on Monday?
Not really
ok… but we do need to go some time. I need a jr. banana split… and a cherry limeaid…
LOL…I like Sonic…A little…But not enough to drive to Flint…I think I’ll wait until it gets even closer to Lansing…Like right IN Lansing…LOL…
I’m not really a big fan. I don’t get it.
Yeah- I’m going through withdrawals though- when I lived in Idaho Falls, ID we had 2- both with 2 miles of my apartment! Peoria got one right before I moved… and now the closest one is Flint… I know- its sad- but I miss my Sonic.
I’m from the thumb area, and Flint is on my way home…I’m sure I’ll be stopping there on my way home for a wedding this weekend!
I’ve only had Sonic twice, so I think the appeal is that it’s not available here…once I go a few times I might feel differently about the place.
Update: Sonic was amazing! It was crazy busy, but they had a good system of getting cars in and out. I think we waited 20 minutes for a stall, and then the food couldn’t have taken more than 10 minutes to arrive. The burgers were perfect, and the tots and onion rings were good too. I wasn’t a fan of the fries (we had to try all 3 for future reference!). The fresh cherry in my Diet Dr. Pepper was nice, and we also had a Banana Pudding Shake that was yummy. All in all, it was worth the wait, and I’m sure I’ll go back again in November on the way home for Thanksgiving. I’ll be curious to see if the quality of food lasts.
I hope one also comes to Lansing. I worked at Sonics for a year when I lived in Kentucky. I would love to work there again.
