The SONIC Drive-In restaurants in Wenatchee and Ellensburg are closed, for now. According to an article published by the Kitsap Sun, the fast food chains closed their doors following a lawsuit filed by Sonic Industries LLC out of Oklahoma last year terminating the franchisee’s license agreement due to its failure to pay millions in royalties and fees. As of this week, the lawsuit is open and ongoing.
MEANWHILE…
Since Sonic terminated the agreements and lost the ability to monitor and control the restaurants, there have been reports of serious quality control problems, including multiple reports of serving raw or undercooked chicken or beef; rancid drinks and shakes; hair and gnats in food; and mildew in food.
