The was also one in Lindenhurst on Montauk Hwy that wasn't open too long b4 it closed. When they built it I thought to myself that place isn't going to last in that spot and I was right I never saw anybody in there.
The one by Smithhaven Mall lasted less than a year, now it's a tagged up eyesore. They cleared land to create more vacant retail space when the sixth avenue electronics shopping center right down the road has been completely vacant for years. Why has sonic not moved into this space instead of clearing more land that borders right on a residential neighborhood?
A number of people (myself included) have echoed this sentiment. Sonic on the former Checkers property would be a win-win for everyone -- the business, the property owners, the residents, and the customers.

The last two times I'd gone to Checkers in Bay Shore (now replaced by a Chase Bank) before it closed, I got food poisoning. A new one reopened in the South Shore Mall food court, and it seems to get a decent amount of foot traffic. Don't know if the one in Brentwood is still there, but the gals at the Academy of St. Joseph would cut class to get food there.
Did it really take TWO poisonings before you stopped going there??
A State Supreme Court judge has overturned the Smithtown Board of Zoning Appeals' denial of a request to build a Sonic in Nesconset, saying the board "improperly bowed to community pressure" over traffic, safety and quality-of-life issues.
State Supreme Court Judge Daniel Martin "vacated and annulled" the zoning board's November 2012 rejection of a special exception request by Valley Stream-based Serota Smithtown Llc, the property owner, and Cinos Smithtown Llc, the franchisee.
They sought the exception to permit a 2,100-square-foot Sonic drive-in at the southeast corner of Middle Country Road and Alexander Avenue, near Smith Haven Mall.
The BZA "improperly bowed to community pressure in making its determination," Martin wrote in his decision late last month. "The complaints of the neighbors, as well as the findings of the respondent BZA, were uncorroborated by any empirical data or expert testimony."
I wonder how much stock in Sonic Judge Daniel Martin holds?
And in an odd twist, this same judge is currently presiding over the medical malpractice suit brought about by the Estate of Shannen Gilbert v. Hackett, Charles Peter D.O.
They do have good fries compared to those frozen Ready-cut french fries that All American warms up and serves.
Please, Naïve in Nassau, you really don't want to put your foot in your mouth one more time, do you?
American burger cuts their fries right in the back. You can see them doing it.
