Real Estate and Site Development
Of course, location is always critical for the success of a Culver’s restaurant. We have a variety of building prototypes, with land requirements ranging from 40,000 to 50,000 square feet of usable property. In addition, our buildings feature drive-thru's and patio seating. Our buildings range in size from approximately 3,600 to 4,500 square feet.
