URBANA — The SONIC location in Urbana has closed due to financial reasons, according to information released from the company Thursday, June 4.

The business, located at 1754 E. U.S. 36, was being evaluated for several months, according to information from the company. The local owner of the business could not be reached for comment.

“Over the past few months, SONIC and the franchisee have evaluated the Urbana drive-in,” said a statement from the company. “After careful review, we regret to announce that the drive-in closed for financial reasons. The decision to close a drive-in is never easy. We feel privileged to have had the opportunity to bring our Carhop service and extensive menu variety to Urbana residents.”

The fast-food chain also has a store in Springfield at 3471 E. National Road.
