I never made it out to the Sonic in Peabody (here) after it opened back in August. I've been known to drive pretty far for fast food cravings (ie: driving to Burlington for Chic-fil-a) but I guess I just haven't craved Sonic yet.
For those of you in Marlborough, you might not need to drive too far to get Sonic if a new proposal gets approved.
Marlborough may eventually be home to an uncommon sight in Massachusetts - a Sonic Drive-In restaurant. The proposed location is on Boston Post Road West near Ames Street, beyond the Hannaford plaza, Vigeant said.
Council President Arthur Vigeant said he expects to set a public hearing for sometime after the first of the year, when the newly-elected council begins work.
For those of you that now crave Sonic's after reading this. I recommend a cherry limeade, the chili cheese tator tots, and a cheese burger.

Glenn Said,
I don't have any particular insight to the political atmosphere in Marlborough but I would have to think this permit would slide through fairly easily.
The "special permit" is a city requirement for drive through access. As that area of Marlborough is already commercially zoned and there are several drive-through establishments currently existing within just a few hundred yards of the proposed location. This really seems more like a formality that would be used by the locals to have the usual sidewalk and trashbin extras made as contingencies.
