Plans for Sonic Drive-In in Niagara Falls Put on Hold Amid Disagreements




The anticipated arrival of a Sonic Drive-In in Niagara Falls has been shelved indefinitely due to unresolved issues between stakeholders. The proposed restaurant, which was set to be built near the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls, NY on Military Road, will no longer move forward as originally planned.

Announced last year by the Western New York franchise holder, the $2.5 million project aimed to replace a vacant outparcel building with a 2,500-square-foot restaurant featuring two drive-thru lanes and 15 delivery stalls. However, obstacles during the planning and approval process ultimately led to the project's cancellation.




Despite the setback, there remains interest in bringing Sonic to the Niagara Falls area in the future. For now, residents will have to wait as discussions continue on whether an alternative location or revised plans might be considered.
