Summary
Culver’s, the Wisconsin-born burger chain founded in 1984 by Craig Culver and his parents, has exploded from a local favorite into a national powerhouse with over 900 locations across 35 states—and counting. Known for its crispy butter burgers and frozen custard, the brand’s Midwest roots are expanding fast, especially into Texas and Florida. Craig, who started as a cook and even worked at McDonald’s, remains the face of the brand, personally attending grand openings and keeping the family legacy alive as the company adds 30 new restaurants this year alone.
