Beloved Burger Chain Culver's Opening Locations in 14 States. Here's the Full List

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.

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. 

Culver’s plans to open 55 new locations in 2025, according to its annual franchise disclosure report. Last year, the chain opened 53 new locations. In total, there are just over 1,000 Culver’s locations in the U.S., with the vast majority of them franchised.  

Unfortunately, we don’t have details yet on exactly when the new Culver’s locations will officially open. But we do know that locations in 8 states have already opened this year, according to a Culver’s spokesperson in a statement to USA Today.
