Investopedia: Sonic Not Breaking The Sound Barrier With Its Growth

Americans love to eat out and they seem to love store concepts that offer a break from burger-world - witness the growth at concepts like Panera (Nasdaq:PNRA), Chipotle (NYSE:CMG) and Dunkin' Brands (Nasdaq:DNKN). Of course, that's not to say that burger-world is exactly suffering either; McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) has been remarkably and consistently strong and newer concepts like Five Guys are also doing well.

Sonic (Nasdaq:SONC) definitely offers a different concept with its drive-in store format and a menu that offers many foods and drinks that cannot be found at other national or regional QSR chains. So far, though, "different" hasn't really meant better, as Sonic has struggled to deliver really exciting growth over the years.
