They may be on the same road, but they are no where near close to each other. As for the entrance to it nouse4aname, just go into the Walmart entrance where there is a traffic light and take the small road behind Waffle House and they have an entrance there. Much safer to use.

There is only one Wendy’s in Huber Heights, on Brandt Pike. The Wendy’s on Old Troy Pike is closed.

A new one opens up in Huber Heights,another one opened up last month up in Sidney while they abruptly closed the one in Piqua after being open for only a year….Insanity!

Does there really need to be 2 Sonics on the same road? One already exists on Brandt (near Harshman).

This is a horrible location. Very steep entrance and exits right next to a highway on ramp with lots of traffic. I’d rather go to the one further away by the Kroger for ease of access.

Susan, the new one is located @ Brandt Pike and 70. Next to Wal-Mart

This sonic is right off the the 201 exit from I-70. They’ll get the highway travelers to stop here. This area is not a dead zone. The Waffle House, Tim Hortons, and Bob Evans are busy. Walmart is here and Meijer just down the street.

John, there is a Wendy’s @ 235 and 70. This is in Huber.

I thought this Sonic was already up and running. Is there a new one? The one I’m thinking of causes traffic problems for people going to and from Kroger there. It’s crazy. I don’t know why it was put there when there’s so many other places to build.

Someone should do some market research instead of this shotgun approach. Their amateur market saturation is an embarrassment and now an eyesore for several cities. Maybe they can pull a carnival food trailer around and sling burgers from town to town and then build a permanent structure based on a town’s demonstrated long-term demand.

Don’t get used to having it open for too long. Once you do, then they decide to open one somewhere else and close this one. Piqua had one for just shy of a year, and now its a vacant building. Who else will use it? No one. Sonic is the only drive up place like that, other than BK rootbeer, which we have. Sonic makes no sense..

Hey, Brandon, where is the 2nd Wendy’s in Huber? Get your facts straight!

NYB, The Sonic next to Tom Cloud Park is in DAYTON! It’s employees pay DAYTON taxes, not Huber Heights taxes. I don’t know about you but if I live North of I70 I sure am not going to drive to Tom Cloud Park to get fast food. I think they are serving different markets despite being on the same road. FYI Huber has 3 McDonald’s, 2 Wendy’s, 2 Taco Bells ETC. IT is a large geographic area.

I imagine they closed Piqua because they wanted to cut their losses. People start businesses to make money - not to be altruistic. If after a year or so they’re still losing money, with no prospect of it improving, they should get out while ASAP. Why should they think it will improve around here? Thousands of DDN blog posts confirm that they should eliminate all employees, close down and move somewhere else.

I would like to know which council member decided they wanted one closer to home. There’s already a Sonic on Brandt Pike across from Cloud Park (in Huber) and it is the “Dead Zone.” How in the heck is Huber Heights supposed to support two?????

Why do people complain about something that is “free”? Learn to appreciate.

I wasn’t to impressed with Sonic,basically its another burger joint. Thought the food was a little pricey, and the fried food items had a funny after taste.

Sonic sux bad! Every time I go there they mess up my order and all the fried food taste the same! Remember free root beer float night…what a MESS!!!! They really should have thought that one through better….the system they used to distribute the floats was not proficient! The people who arrived first waited the longest and those pulling in and had no where to park got theirs first; meanwhile they where blocking every one in so no one could leave! It was a massive mess of a traffic jam and the floats where horrible….ummmm are root beer floats suppose to have ice-cream in them….yea, thats what I thought too!!!! What an embarrassment for the company! I would rather pay a couple bucks gets a root beer float that is worth a dam and not have to wait forever in a traffic jam for it!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!

The reasons that they closed were because they suck, big time. They should be built with a law stating that when they close they should have to find another tenant first, even before their allowed to build one. Thanks for moving the post a comment box. Its about time. Gees!
