Our Oklahoma City, Okla. corporate office focuses on supporting youth through education and arts opportunities within the state of Oklahoma, the SONIC system bands together through Limeades for Learning®, a nationwide cause branding initiative, to provide essential and innovative learning materials to public school classrooms across the country in partnership with DonorsChoose.org. Through the award-winning initiative, SONIC and our franchise partners have donated more than $5 million to public school classrooms in local communities across the country.​​

In December 2018, Sonic was acquired by Inspire Brands, a multi-brand restaurant company.​

Mission:
To become America’s most loved restaurant brand. 

SONIC is more than a great place to grab a Cheeseburger and a Cherry Limeade. Our heritage is not only about great food and friendly service but also being part of the community. It’s not just the right thing to do…it’s good business.  

For more than 15 years, SONIC's community giving programs have been geared toward advancing education and educational opportunities for Oklahoma youth and the arts. To further extend our commitment to education, each fall SONIC conducts its largest annual fundraising effort supporting teacher’s projects across the nation—Limeades for Learning.  This award winning program is a national cause effort conducted in partnership with DonorsChoose.org that benefits teachers and students in local communities. Since its origin in 2009, we have donated over $9.5 million to teacher’s projects and made a difference in thousands of students’ lives.
