Culver's Is Rapidly Expanding With 27 New Locations Coming Soon

A beloved burger chain known for its ButterBurgers and frozen custard is opening locations in 12 additional states in the rest of 2025.

Some fast-food restaurant chains have been closing locations this year, but not Culver's Frozen Custard.

The chain is based in Wisconsin, a state known for its dairy industry, and where frozen custard is regarded as a summer staple.

The planned restaurants are on top of the new restaurants in 15 states that the chain has already opened this year so far. Altogether, the chain is planning to open at least 27 additional restaurants in the dozen states this year, Patch.com reported.

The dozen states are Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin, USA Today reported.

According to Culver's, the chain's first restaurant opened in Sauk City, WI, in 1984, and then expanded to Minnesota before the company opened locations in other states. There are currently more than 800 Culver's restaurants in 25 states, the company says on its website.

The chain has been opening new restaurants at a fast clip.

Culver's is opening an average of "50 to 60 new restaurants per year," a pace that the company expects will continue in both 2025 and 2025, according to USA Today.

Culver's website has a store locator.

"One of our co-founders, Craig Culver, always said 'it's not about the number of restaurants we have, it's about the number of great restaurants.' So when we remember that it all started in one community, with one successful restaurant, serving one friend, neighbor and family at a time, that's when our brand will continue to win," a spokesperson for Culver's told Patch.com.
