| | Sonic Drive In Booms |
 | | In the early days, Sonic didn’t have a lot of input at the franchisee level, but that’s changed: I’ve been on a franchisee advisory council for 20-plus years. |
 | | We had the first Sonic with $2 million annual net sales last year, and people see that from the outside and think “I want me one of those.” Our variety of products, our fountain favorites, our foot-long cheese Coneys, our onion rings, the special ice, special cups, all those things added together have done it. |
 | | Many of them think that because Sonic corporate is doing well and the franchise group is doing well, you can just walk in the door and immediately start doing well. |
