Which franchise is known by the slogan “America’s Drive-In”?

Sonic Drive-In is the franchise known by the slogan “America’s Drive-In.”

The chain’s identity is built around drive-in service, where customers park in individual spaces and order food, traditionally through an outdoor speaker system. Many locations also offer carhop service, in which employees bring orders to vehicles.

Sonic began in Shawnee, Oklahoma, in 1953, when Troy Smith opened a business that developed into a drive-in restaurant. The brand was renamed Sonic in 1959, and its franchise model helped spread the format beyond its Oklahoma origins.

The slogan is sometimes confused with a description of the broader American drive-in tradition. In this context, however, “America’s Drive-In” is specifically associated with Sonic’s national branding and restaurant concept.
