Sonic in Grand Prairie, TX

A new 1,806 sq ft Sonic restaurant was constructed at 814 W Main St in Grand Prairie, Texas. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in February 2024, involved the new construction of a single-story building on private land. The estimated cost for this development was $750,000, resulting in a computed cost of $415 per square foot. This figure is above the Dallas County median of $125 per square foot for similar new construction filings, while the total project cost remains below the county median of $950,000.

DL Rogers Corp had two other registered projects in the state: a Sonic in Bridgeport and a Sonic Drive In in Tyler. The Grand Prairie project was privately funded and built for private use.
