Become a Small Business Owner with Sonic’s Veteran Franchise Opportunity!
If you’re a veteran looking for a fun and rewarding way to get back to civilian life, SONIC’s veteran franchise opportunities are something to think about! Veterans often leave the service to become franchisees because the system allows them to utilize many of the skills they developed as soldiers. In fact, one out of every seven franchises is owned by a veteran — and right now, our special incentives make it even easier for you to become one of them!
WHY JOIN THE SONIC VETERAN FRIENDLY FRANCHISE FAMILY?
Year after year, Sonic continues to be a disrupter in the industry with a fan-favorite menu and franchisee-friendly business model that takes the guesswork out of things. Our secret is simple: we care about people. We pay close attention to guest demand and listen to our franchisees to make changes that fuel our growth for the long term.

VETERANS MAKE GREAT FRANCHISEES
A SONIC veteran franchise opportunity is perfect for veterans because many of them…
Are LeadersA distinguishing trait of many veterans is their ability to lead. Veteran franchisees often become community and business leaders and set an example for those around them, including their staff, clients, and customers.
Can Also FollowVeterans also know when and how to follow. They appreciate systems and guidelines to achieve the best results, which is especially useful when partnering with SONIC to leverage our model. Following our process will allow you to manage nearly every aspect of your franchise, taking a lot of the guesswork out of things.
Have a Sense of CommunityMany veterans gravitated to their military careers because they like being around people and want to be of service to them and their communities. Our veteran-friendly franchises allow you to be in business and be of service at the same time!
Value Perseverance and PatienceVeterans often see the big picture more easily and can set goals accordingly. They know the importance of patience and perseverance, two qualities that are invaluable when starting and growing a small business.
