Sonic Drive-In, 312 Columbia Avenue: December 2022 (Moved) 1 comment

Posted at 10:08 pm in closing

I noticed this vacant Sonic last weekend in Lexington.

According to The State, it closed around the end of December 2022 in order for the chain to open a new store nearby at 461 Columbia Avenue, a somewhat larger piece of land.

As of yet, there is no new tenant here though it is listed (with a nice picture of the store in operation).

UPDATE 30 September 2025 -- Apparently the building has been sold, and some sort of upfit is in progress:

Also, here is the new Sonic location:

Wasn't Food Network's Guy Fieri supposed to open a chicken place on this site?
