Talked to a WalMart employee at the East 15th and I-35 location in Edmond (so take it for what it's worth). They said the Sonic in that location was one of only two-concept locations inside WalMarts. She said the buildout was just over $100,000 and that if the two locations can prove profitable that Sonic would get a contract for 80 more locations inside other WalMarts.

This employee did't think it was going well. She said their hours we not good. She said it also have a much smaller menu than a regular Sonic.

She said the traffic is nowhere near what McDonald's locations inside WalMarts do and she doesn't think the concept will work based on how its being implemented.

I tend to agree. I go to that Walmart regularly and I rarely see more than a couple of people inside the Sonic.

I also tried to use the Sonic app several times at this location to no avail.

I hope it does make it though. I like the look of their buildout and I prefer Sonic to McDonalds.
