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.
