Culver’s is continuing its aggressive push to open restaurants throughout the U.S. with new locations planned in 12 states.
What Is Culver’s Known For?
Culver’s opened its first location in 1984 in Sauk City, Wisconsin, a city with a current population of just under 3,500.
The chain has quickly expanded since that time. First came Culver’s restaurants throughout the Midwest before the brand started popping up outside of the region.
Culver’s is mostly known for its signature ButterBurger and frozen custard. Outside of those popular items, diners will also find various chicken and fish items and even fried cheese curds on the menu.
