Sonic will open for business on Dec.29th 2008 at 6am. This will actually be the third location in Michigan as there is a restaurant in Detroit and another in Pontiac.

: Sales are down at Kalamazoo County's only
: Krispy Kreme Doughnuts store in Portage, so
: it will be closing soon. It opened less
: than 4 years ago, just before Xmas in 2004.
: A Village Green laundry was razed to make
: way for the new Krispy Kreme building at
: 6278 South Westnedge Avenue on the Southland
: Mall pad. This is surely good news to the
: owners of Sweetwater's Donut Mill, which has
: gained some national attention in the years
: since Krispy Kreme opened. On the day of
: Krispy Kreme's grand opening, Sweetwater's
: was across the street at Belle Tire giving
: away free doughnuts. Belle Tire was itself
: a new location at the time, built on a site
: that was a Ponderosa Steakhouse.
:
: Meanwhile, years of seeing Sonic Drive-In
: Restaurant ads on tv will finally pay off
: for Kalamazoo County residents.
: Construction on Michigan's second Sonic will
: begin this month in Portage on undeveloped
: land on the south side of Romence Road
: between D&W Fresh Market and Ritter's Frozen
: Custard. This Sonic franchise is owned by
: Saint Joseph based Trigo Hospitality, which
: also owns all the Pizza Hut and Panera Bread
: franchises in West Michigan. This Sonic
: location is scheduled to open by Xmas.
:
: Also opening soon in Portage is Kalamazoo
: County's second Wings Etc. restaurant. It
: is scheduled to open late this month at 7337
: South Westnedge Avenue. This franchise is
: owned by Tom Potts of Portage.
:
: Are you sad Krispy Kreme is closing? Are
: you happy Sonic and Wings Etc. are opening?
: Please share your feelings and opinions .
