Sonic Chain Scouts Northeast PA Locations

PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA-Sonic Restaurants has engaged locally-based Fameco Real Estate as exclusive tenant representative to scout locations for a planned expansion of the 3,400-unit chain into northeastern Pennsylvania. Fameco’s Rick Schuch and Jed Masloff will head the leasing team searching for pads in power centers in densely populated areas with good highway access throughout Luzerne, Monroe and Lackawanna Counties.

A spokeswoman for Fameco tells GlobeSt.com the tri-county area is new territory for Sonic, and the burger franchise chain is leaving its options open as to the number of units it builds in these markets. In a news release, Brandon Famous, Fameco’s founder and CEO, says Sonic is the largest chain of drive-in restaurants in the US and is considered “tops in its field.”
