A developer is proposing to build an unnamed drive-in restaurant on an unimproved property in Riverhead on Old Country Road, across from Apple Honda.
They hope that the restaurant will be a Sonic.
While plans to construct the Sonic restaurant on the site that date back to 2014 previously fell through, the developer is again seeking approval to develop the vacant commercial land with a 2,283-sq-ft drive-in restaurant. The application calls for a restaurant with 74 seats (20 indoor and 54 outdoor) on the 1.78 acre parcel of land.
It sure sounds like a Sonic.
According to a story in The Riverhead News-Review, Sonic is not currently secured for the site but the developer hopes to attract them back to the location with their application. Inheritance Development, the developer of the project, also built a Sonic in Shirley, according to Riverhead Local.
