US Systemwide Sales: $5.499 billion

Sonic, known for its car-friendly dining experience, experienced a slight setback last year with a decrease of 6 units after a remarkable growth the previous year. However, with new leadership under Jim Taylor, who previously worked at Arby's, the brand is set to revitalize itself. Taylor's expertise in creating brand activations has already shown promising results, with a 25.8 percent increase in same-store sales over two years.
