Good luck going there, because it's closing too...

Is the one in Bedford still seasonal, or has it closed for good as well?
All Sonic's are closing and the one in Bedford has been closed for some time.

Only Sonic I know of where I live is 460 west into Roanoke from Lynchburg. Fortunately not far from my house.

There was one in Salem at one point, off of 460 close to downtown. I think it closed before I moved to the beach.

I've always enjoyed Sonic when I went there. I guess those commercials with those two annoying middle aged men is driving everyone away

Nope, I like the commercials more than the food. And you are right, they are annoying.

If the service at the ones in Virginia that are closing is anything like the one I've been to, combined with the below average food that Sonic sells anyway could be the reason they're all closing up shop.

we have 4 sonics open up here locally about 5-6 years ago. only 2 remain but 1 is closing later this year. mediocre food served 1/2 hour after you order it.

Not sure what they do, but it taste like they soak them in salt before they cook them.
