Culver’s Is Headed to Ruskin

Born in a Wisconsin small town, Culver’s Restaurants have expanded all over the country, bringing Butterburgers and frozen custard to nearly 1000 locations in 26 states. Now, the chain is planning a new location in Ruskin .

News first broke about the new location back in February, with coverage by Bokors Corner .

“If everything goes as well as possible you might be enjoying a delicious ButterBurger and Cheese Curds before X-Mas 25’… 18 months or more is typical for a build-from-scratch project,” the coverage said.

What Now reached out Wednesday to Jeffrey Liegel of S&L Companies , the franchisee behind the location. Liegel said the location will feature 4,500 square of space, with seating for 112 guests and a double drive-thru—in other words, expectations are high for Culver’s in Ruskin.

The burger and frozen custard chain’s branded Butterburgers come in varieties like the Bacon Deluxe, “with layers of real Wisconsin cheese and crisp bacon,” and the Culver’s Deluxe, with Wisconsin cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion, and Culver’s signature mayo. The menu also features chicken sandwiches and tenders, plus seafood sandwiches and dinners like the Butterfly Jumbo Shrimp Dinner and the North Atlantic Cod Dinner.

Culver’s Frozen Custard comes in the form of sundaes like the Banana Split and the Turtle Sundae; shakes, in flavors like Chocolate Malt, Mint, Peanut Butter, and Salted Caramel; and Concrete Mixers. For these, guests choose between chocolate and vanilla ice cream and then pack in mix-ins like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Oreos, Snicker’s, cashews, strawberries, and more.
