Sonic Drive-In Breaks Ground In North Strabane Township

Sonic Drive-In television commercials have long tempted those living in Western Pennsylvania. The spots have had local food lovers searching high and low for the drive-in restaurants.

The search ends now, as franchise group NCH Hospitality broke ground at 2611 Washington Road in North Strabane Township for its first of many Sonic locations in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The restaurant is scheduled to open for business in early December.

Led by Kings Family Restaurants founder Hartley King, NCH Hospitality, which includes King’s partners Nick Hrehovchak and Chris Whalen, plans to open 15 more Sonic locations during the next five years. The group is considering multiple sites for additional Sonic locations in Allegheny, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Washington and Westmoreland counties as well as West Virginia.

The closest operating Sonic to Pittsburgh is in Athens, Ohio, with a location at Pittsburgh Mills in Frazer Township, Allegheny County, expected to open this year.
