A pair of Swamplot readers, employees at Hughes Hangar across the street and Kwik Lube next door, and the Facebook page of late-night weekend jitney service Houston Wave all have heard that this building going up on Washington Ave will be a new Sonic. But a rep from the company can’t confirm the location, saying yesterday that there is nothing to add about “the specific possibility” of a Sonic here at 2720 Washington, and there doesn’t appear to be any tell-tale signage up yet.

The view directly above is from the Kwik Lube looking west along Washington.
Below is the view of the drive-thru from National St., looking east:
If you do some serious Googling, you’ll come across what appears to be construction specs and code details for a 1,344-sq.-ft. Sonic at 2720 Washington — described there as Store #6360 — but it’s unclear how current they are. We’ll update this story with more details when we have them.

Sweet fancy Moses, I can already taste the cherry limeade. . .
Yay, another Sonic a little bit closer than the other Sonic!

The Google is strong with this one. Nice work!
Nice to see some development on the north side of Washington along that strip.
In my head, the box doesn’t look quite right for a Sonic, but my imagination is lacking without the canopy. The elevation/facade reminds me of a Dunkin, but its on the wrong side of the street.
o.m.g. I’m about to get fatter.
The sign at the Sonic at N. Shepherd and 610 states that they are interviewing for a new location at Washington and National.
The innards of the loop are in desperate need of a sonic… thank goodness.
Oh boy!
The innards of the loop are in desperate need of a sonic…
Or a Dairy Queen!
Good to see the Washington Ave/Yale St. retail exchange program with FM 1960 is picking back up some steam.
I was hoping for In N Out Burger.
I was thinking the same thing Old School….
I can’t wait for the Chili’s!
[Icy jolt runs up spine after mentioning the ‘C’ word]
There’s already a Chili’s by the Target less than a mile away. Maybe they’ll finally build that flagship Applebees that all you inner-loopers have been waiting for.
I’m confused – are we getting the dense dynamic city of Walt’s dreams or the suburbs in city?
Drive-through windows at Sonic make me sick. It is Sonic DRIVE-IN. What has happened to America…
They need more restaurants around 19th & Yale, maybe Sonic could go in there too.
Or Dairy Queen.
And isn’t there an Applebee’s already inside the loop? Well, just barely inside but at 610 and W. 18th, if I remember correctly.

Great thought Pyewacket2. Let’s tear down one of those ugly old dumps on 19th and put in a Sonic! Far better than a store full of hipster junk.
A search for location on the Sonic site confirms that it’s a Sonic – yay!!
Sonic is now open! Half priced shakes after 8pm!
