  • Abandoned Sonic - Statesville, NC. In this video, I take a quick look at this older location that closed in 2020. Stopped in time is what I would say about this one despite only being closed for 3 years.

    We have a sonic here near Charleston SC that actually still has an active indoor dining room. The place was an old Burger King that got converted to a sonic years ago.

      All the ones here in western part of SC, and over the border in GA have never had a dining room, just stalls, or outdoor patio, and have been around for a very long time, so gonna have to look that one up next time I'm out that way to see family.

    The Sonic closed because it was badly located for Interstate travelers. Also, the intersection of I-40 and US 21 was severely disrupted for years by new construction, widening I-40 and a brand new overpass and ramps onto US 21,

      Didn't look like this one was too centrally located, don't think it was close enough to the highway for people to see, that might've been the problem possibly.

    Usually Sonic restaurants don't have indoor dining areas. They only have drive up order screens to place your order and you have to wait for the employees to come out and delivery your meal to your vehicle.

      That's May and June in the Carolinas -- mild and rainy. Then comes July and August with the heat. It's nice here, generally. But we do have the occasional tornado. Hurricanes have been known to reach inland for more than 300 miles. And we sometimes get ice storms in the winter with dangerous driving and electrical disruptions from ice-laden power lines.

    The Sonic in Athens OH actually used to be a Rax. They didn't even change most of the signage or the building, they just slapped the Sonic sign and a couple neon bulbs and called it a day. (They even left the 'Restaurants' sign up!) Sadly it's been razed and replaced with those tall Sonics you see nowadays.

    While I like Sonic especially that Breakfast Burrito with Tots and a large Cherry Limeade is the bomb but Sonic here in Beckley, we got one in early 2021 after it took over the abandoned Bojangles in town and it was popular for a while like the line would be in the street and now it's like barely 10 cars now because they keep getting orders wrong. Like holy crap, many times we would get that Burrito and two things, it would be packed with like 80% eggs or they just give you the wrong thing.
    We stopped going there, the last time I had Sonic when I was in hospital recovering after a infected appendix.
    But we're getting a Chipotle and our Long John Silvers is getting rebuilt into a better one and probably adding a drive-thru.

    wait, I recognize that Sonic - that's not an "older" site. That was probably built @2008-2010. We went there multiple times when we lived nearby. That's on a busy road & in a busy shopping area. I'm shocked to see it's closed. It's really not that old of a site. I wonder what killed it? Sonics in this general area of Western NC/Piedmont/Triad usually do well. This is strange.
