Construction has officially begun on a new Sonic Drive-In on the north side of Mount Pleasant.
Gary Shahan, Building and Zoning Administrator with the City of Mount Pleasant, confirmed crews have started breaking ground at 1206 North Grand Avenue. The project has been highly anticipated by local residents, with plans for the restaurant circulating in the community for nearly a year.
Shahan said building permits for the project were originally issued in April of last year. He added that construction is expected to take about three months to complete, weather permitting.
Once finished, the Sonic Drive-In will add another dining option along the North Grand corridor and mark a new commercial development for the area.
