Clarksville adding seventh Sonic Drive-In
A throwback of sorts to the 1950s, where burgers and shakes were served by running or roller-skating wait staff, the Sonic Drive-In fast food chain represents a concept that is prevalent throughout Clarksville.
The city is about to gain its seventh Sonic location.
Mat Smiley, plans examiner for Clarksville Building Codes, confirmed that the newest Sonic has a building permit for a site at 1805 Madison St.
The building permit was pulled by Harry Crocker. Other specific details, including construction timetable, are not yet released.
