The Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma opened the doors to a Sonic Drive-In franchise on Monday. The Sonic is located in Seneca, Missouri. That's about 10 miles from tribal headquarters. “We’re very excited about the opening. It’s been much anticipated,” Chief Billy Friend said in a press release. “We believe it will be another great economic development for the Tribe and we look forward to generating profits that can go back to benefit tribal citizens.” The tribe is the first in Indian Country to sign a franchise deal with Sonic.
