With 3,557 locations as of the start of 2017, Sonic has less than a 10th the number of units as McDonald’s, but the drive-in burger and ice cream joint has been franchising for almost as long. The company, which ranks No. 6 on the Franchise 500, first opened in 1953 as Top Hat Drive-In but began franchising in 1959 under the Sonic Drive-In name.
There is still plenty of franchise ability left in the U.S., which you can find on the Sonic franchising page.
