A popular fast-food chain is coming to the Central Coast. An all-new Sonic Drive-In will begin serving the brand's items to Atascadero on Monday.
This marks the first Sonic Drive-In in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. The Atascadero location located at 4500 San Palo Road, features four dine-in stalls, a patio, and outdoor seating.
The new location will employ approximately 50 new team members from the local area.
The new store will be open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and on Friday and Saturday, it will be open until midnight.
Sonic's menu offers lots of flavors and drink combinations, including slushes, shakes, burgers, and made-to-order and customizable breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options.
Founded in 1953, Sonic is the largest drive-in restaurant brand in the United States, with more than 3,500 restaurants in more than 40 states.
