According to the <a href="http://www.standard.net/Food/2018/06/16/Layton-gets-first-Sonic-3D-in-the-nation-1?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=first-sonic-3d-in-the-nation-open-for-business-2706873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Standard-Examiner</a>, Sonic 3D&nbsp;is a new business model being tested in Layton, Utah&nbsp;that will be offering indoor seating, a drive-thru window and a limited menu.

According to Timmons, &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been watching the trends in the market for the last couple of years and had noticed that there&rsquo;s a need for better access to some of our more popular products &mdash; and a way to present them.&rdquo; Timmons and his partners own 19 Sonic locations in Utah, four in Idaho and are excited the&nbsp;drive-in will focus on specialty drinks, ice cream, hot dogs, and a few select snacks in this new pop-up location.

Sonic 3D centers around 30 &ldquo;curated drinks&rdquo;, mixing various fruit purees with soda&nbsp;and supporting the idea of a more snack focused venue. &ldquo;From an operational perspective, we want to put these (new stores) in very small spaces,&rdquo; Timmons explained to the Standard-Examiner. Unlike the full-size Sonic Drive-Ins, which often feature a &ldquo;Happy Hour&rdquo; discount on drinks, the Sonic 3D will offer a &ldquo;loyalty-building approach&rdquo; by utilizing a punch card.
