SONIC will open its first location in Danbury on Thursday.  Located at 172 White Street, it's directly across from the Western Connecticut State University midtown campus.  The fast food restaurant will look to employee around 40 team members from the local area, with select roles still available.  In celebration of the grand opening, the Danbury SONIC will offer a free Corn Dog to every guest on Thursday, while supplies last.  SONIC also donates a portion of drink, slush and shake sales to support local public education through the brand’s Limeades for Learning initiative. Since 2009, SONIC has donated more than $20 million to funding local classrooms, becoming one of the largest programs to support public education in the U.S.
