SONIC Drive-In Celebrates the Grand Opening of East Edinburg Location
SONIC® Drive-In today announced it will host the grand opening of its East Edinburg drive-in located at 2563 S. Raul Longoria Road on Wednesday, May 7. This marks the first SONIC Drive-In to open in the Edinburg area since 2001.
At 10:30 a.m., local franchisee Al Trevino, alongside the mayor and local dignitaries, will host the official ribbon cutting. Following the ribbon cutting, guests are invited to enjoy free samples, SONIC-branded merchandise giveaways and coupons for their next visit, including 99-cent Corn Dogs, Buy One, Get One Cheeseburgers and more! Throughout the day, the new Edinburg SONIC will also host live entertainment from a local high school band and a Mariachi band.
Starting May 7, the restaurant will be open every day from 7:00 a.m. to midnight and features 14 drive-in stalls, a drive-thru lane and outside patio seating. The one-of-a-kind dining experience also incorporates eye-catching elements of SONIC’s updated architectural design and visual brand identity for guests to experience the new SONIC look.
The drive-in will bring approximately 45 new job opportunities to the area. Those interested in joining the SONIC team are encouraged to apply by texting Crushtx to 242424.
The new location is owned and operated by local Edinburg franchisee Al Trevino, who owns five additional locations throughout south Texas.
