Hurray!! It’s about time we got a Sonics in Milwaukee!! I’m so excited.
We have them in NC, they are great but they are expensive. I will be going there to get a slushy.
I’m from Arkansas and I always go there when i go home. Look out Brew City, Sonic is here!!
Awesome we need them all over Wisconsin not just Milwaukee. We see there commercials so why shouldn’t we have SONIC .
Finally! We’ve been teased for years with the commercials, but no access to the cherry limeade! Not anymore. Hope the other proposed drive-ins include South Milwaukee too.
I have never been to a Sonics, but see the commercials all the time. Now we just need one in Racine.
I’m lucky to have been recently hired at the 1st ever Milwaukee-Based Sonic! its a great job. yeah we will be opening in Racine and also in Franklin so that should be great for business.
Our 35th St location is now hiring so act fast at Snagajob.com to get in on the fun.
