Wichita’s first Culver’s will open for business in just a few days

Exactly one year ago today , fast-food chain Culver’s announced it was coming to the Wichita market.

Now, opening day is just a few days away.

The restaurant, known for its butter burgers and frozen custard, will open on Monday, July 8, at 3210 N. Maize Road, said franchisee Nick Campe. Starting that day, its hours will be 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

“The wait is over,” he said.

The Wichita Culver’s, which will be able to seat around 120, will sit next to the IHOP near 29th and Maize Road. It will have a drive-through and a small patio with four tables. In addition to burgers and custard, the menu includes things like fish, chicken, soups and salads. See the full menu below.

Culver’s has nearly 1,000 restaurants in the country, including 10 in Kansas. Campe says he also hopes to eventually open one on Wichita’s east side.
