Serving Smiles Across the Midwest and Beyond
The company takes a unique approach to opening new restaurants. The spokesperson shared a quote from one of Culver’s co-founders, Craig Culver:
“It’s not about the number of restaurants we have; it’s about the number of great restaurants.”
He added, “Our brand started in one community, serving one friend, neighbor, and family member at a time. That is how we will keep winning.”
Culver’s requires its owner-operators to be active in every restaurant. This ensures guests get hometown hospitality paired with delicious meals every visit.
The first Culver’s opened in 1984 in Sauk City, Wisconsin. Its mission was to serve Midwest classics like “butterburgers” and fresh frozen custard with a smile.
Today, Culver’s menu features a wide variety of butterburgers made with fresh, never frozen beef. Customers can enjoy options like the deluxe, bacon deluxe, mushroom Swiss, and a limited-time colby jack pub burger.
As Culver’s grows, it plans to keep its Wisconsin roots alive in every new location.
