This move to add the chain’s products to grocery stores allows customers to enjoy its flavours at home. Sonic currently serves approximately 3 million customers every day.
Sonic Drive-In chief strategy and business development officer John Budd said: “With the introduction of these new and exciting retail products, we’re keeping Sonic top-of-mind by meeting current fans where they are and welcoming new fans to the brand where a drive-in does not yet exist.”
The restaurant is planning to launch the grab-and-go products in collaboration with licensing partners including Jel Sert Company, Ziegenfelder and Quality Candy.
Jel Sert Company offers gelatine, shelf-stable freezer bars and pudding mixes, Ziegenfelder offers frozen ice pops and Quality Candy offers lollipops and hard candy.
