While some chain restaurants and retail outlets are failing (we see you, Joann and Big Lots), others are expanding. One of those successful chains is Culver’s, which is bringing its butter burgers to even more hungry customers this year. The popular burger chain plans to open dozens of new locations by the end of 2025. 


Here’s what we know about the fast-food chain’s expansion, including a list of new locations coming soon.

Why Is Culver’s Opening New Locations?

Culver’s, which was founded in Wisconsin and serves local favorites like butter burgers, frozen custard, and fried cheese curds, has been steadily expanding in recent years. According to a financial disclosure document, the chain’s operating revenue was up over 13% in 2024. While the chain has been beloved in Wisconsin for decades, it’s becoming a favorite fast-food spot for other regions as well, thanks to homestyle restaurant vibes and friendly customer service.
