Long-Awaited Sonic Drive-In Opens New Antelope Road Location


ANTELOPE – The new, long-awaited Sonic Drive-In restaurant on Antelope Road is set to open its doors on Monday September 15th, bringing its menu of classic American fare to Northern Sacramento County.

Situated at 5873 Antelope Road, the new location will serve customers daily from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., offering both a traditional drive-thru and seven of the chain’s signature drive-in stalls. A new Arco AM/PM convenience store also occupies the same parcel.

The restaurant, operated by the franchise group Elite Drive-Ins, is expected to employ more than 45 people.

Sonic Drive-In is owned by Inspire Brands, a company that also holds ownership of several other well-known chains, including Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Jimmy John’s Sandwiches.
