If they allow a Sonics there, then other franchises may want in. Frankly, I agree that a Sonics would be good for that area. I know of many muscle car owners that are from the Lebanon, Branchburg, Bedminister, Bridgewater, areas. Plus the cruise night in Somerville is only 2-3 towns away, and I could picture many classic car owners stopping there.
I know that I would be there most every night for their drinks. However, it would be a real toughy chosing Polar Cub or Sonics. On the other hand, I question if a Sonics could survive in that area as is. Most places on that part of Rt 22 don't get much of a crowd and it is usually dead on Winter weekends when I drive out that way to go to a friend's house.
I'd be there every day though, with or without my camaro. 44 oz Strawberry Slush with tons of sweet strawberries at the bottom.

Yeah, that's the thing. So few people are drawn through that area that some of the local businesses suffer. If there was a Sonic pulling people in, maybe they'd stop at some of the other stuff in the area.
