Sonic Drive-In is an American fast-food restaurant chain based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, that re-creates the drive-in-diner feel of the 1950s, complete with carhops who sometimes wear roller skates. As of September 9, 2009, there were 3,500 restaurants in forty-one U.S. states. After Troy N. Smith, Sr., Sonic's founder, returned to his hometown of Shawnee, Oklahoma, after World War II, he became a milkman. He then decided to work delivering bread because bread was not as heavy. He soon purchased the Cottage Cafe, a little cafe in Shawnee. Before long he sold it and opened a restaurant, Troy's Pan Full of Chicken, on the edge of Shawnee. In 1953, he added a small root-beer stand, the Top Hat Drive-In, to the property. After realizing that the stand was averaging US$700 a week in the sale of root beer, hamburgers and hot dogs, Smith decided to focus on the more-profitable drive-in and scrapped plans to expand the restaurant into a fancier steakhouse.
