Sonic
Sonic is a drive-in-fast-food chain and was established in the 1950s. In recent times, the company developed Sonic Beach, where it serves its regular menu except with seafood and alcohol. Sonic has had a lot of changes over the years, one being them cutting ties with an ad agency, Barkley, a business relationship that lasted for 17 years. Sonic was later purchased by Inspire in December 2018 but was only pushed to close a lot of its doors, and even more so in 2020.

Checkers
Checkers is a drive-in restaurant that is famous in the Southeast compared to its sister company, Rally’s, that is more popular in the Midwest. Rallies were established in 1986 and Checkers a year later in 1987. The two companies came together in 1999 and had their headquarters in Tampa, Florida. In 2017, Checkers was sold to Oak Hill Capital for approximately $525 million, to grow in the Pittsburgh area. As such, a lot of branches closed out in the Southeast regions as a result of improving their financial status.
