Culver’s to build a third Milwaukee restaurant

Steadily growing Prairie du Sac, Wis.-based Culver Franchising System Inc. is planning to build a Culver’s restaurant at North 76th Street and Good Hope Road on Milwaukee’s northwest side. The project was announced by Waukesha-based Campbell Construction BBG LLC, which will be the general contractor for the project. The 4,207-square-foot restaurant building will be built at 7515 W. Good Hope Road, near the northeast corner of 76th Street and Good Hope. A vacant former Continental Savings Bank branch building on the site will be demolished to make way for the Culver’s building. Construction is expected to begin around March 1, pending the approval of city officials. Culver’s, known for its custard and its Butter Burgers, started in 1984 with a location in Sauk City. Since then, the company has grown to more than 360 locations in 16 states and next year plans to enter Arizona. The restaurant on Milwaukee’s northwest side will only be the chain’s third location in the city of Milwaukee. The other two are at the Shops of Grand Avenue and at 5501 W. Fond du Lac Ave., near Midtown Center.
