In addition to this deal, SONIC is seeking multiple franchise partners in Southern, Central and Northern California, as part of the chain's plan to open as many as 300 drive-ins across the state by 2020.
In June 2013, SONIC Drive-In announced a franchise agreement to open 15 new SONIC Drive-Ins in Southern California in the next six years, with five new drive-ins in San Diego County and 10 new drive-ins in the greater West Riverside County area.
With this new announcement, the total number of outlets signed in Southern California has reached 25.
Coast to Coast Commercial currently owns and operates six other SONIC Drive-Ins in Southern California.
