About Culver
Culver’s was founded in a small town in Wisconsin
in 1984. The first Culver’s Frozen Custard and ButterBurgers restaurant was
started in Sauk City, Wis., by Craig Culver and his wife, Lea, along with
Craig’s parents, Ruth and George. The Culver family grew up in the restaurant
business, having operated family restaurants for well over three decades. After
bussing dishes and waiting on customers throughout his teenage and college
years, Craig Culver also spent four years managing other fast-food restaurants.
On July 18, 1984, the Culvers reopened a former drive-in root beer stand and
began building
their ideas about quality, freshness and friendliness into a new kind of
quick-service restaurant.
Culver’s and their signature menu items, Frozen Custard and ButterBurgers, were
introduced
to first-time guests; the quality, fresh-made food for a good value kept guests
coming back,
again and again. As the Sauk City restaurant became successful, the Culver’s
opened their second restaurant in Reedsburg, Wis., in 1987.
Soon after, several people approached the Culver family about opening
restaurants in other areas. The Culver family decided to branch out and
franchise their restaurants and, consequently, in July of 1987, Culver
Franchising System, Inc. was
created as the franchising arm of Culver’s Frozen Custard and ButterBurgers. The
first successful franchised restaurant opened in 1990. In the years that
followed, several new restaurants opened throughout Wisconsin and in other
states.
Today, Culver’s continues to grow and is one of the 10 fastest growing
restaurant chains in the United States.
