The Pearl Chamber of Commerce Business of the Month in April is Sonic Drive In. Sonic has two locations in Pearl: 3539 Hwy 80 East and 141 S Pearson Road. The Hwy 80 location is one of the oldest Sonics in this part of the State, built in 1974. Rob Goodwin is the GM and he has 4 Assistant Managers and 30 employees. Jack Brown is the Pearson Road GM and has 5 Assistant Managers and 40 employees. The District Supervisor of both Sonic Drive Ins in Pearl is Chris Ransom. Both locations have a booming business and have recently set new monthly net sales records. Customers love Sonic’s extensive menu of burgers, hot dogs, tater tots and chicken sandwiches, but they also love Sonic’s Breakfast Menu with the Morning Drink Stop, which is any Large Soft Drink or Slush for 99 cents from open until 10:00 a.m. Sonic is also very well known for their “Happy Hour” from 2 – 4 p.m. 7 days a week, which is ½ price on all drinks and slushes. Both Sonics are about to add digital boards for ordering, new computers and other upgrades that will make their already good service even faster.
