Smiles were in plentiful supply on Wednesday as north central Ohio’s newest dining option opened its doors.
Richland Area Chamber & Economic Development was on hand to welcome the brand new Culver’s restaurant at 1364 North Lexington-Springmill Road in Ontario with a traditional ribbon cutting.
The site, located across from Meijer and immediately to the north of Bell’s, brings to north central Ohio a chain known for its Midwestern roots and delightful menu. The restaurant operate sfrom 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM, seven days a week. This extended availability is sure to cater to a wide range of dining schedules, from early lunches to late-night cravings.
Culver’s commitment to the community is further evidenced by its employment of 60 staff members, with a maximum of 18 employees working at any given time. The new Culver’s outlet also has proposed a substantial parking arrangement, with 68 spaces.
The story of Culver’s began in 1984 when Craig and Lea Culver, along with Craig’s parents George and Ruth, opened the first outlet in Sauk City, Wisconsin. Since then, the brand has become synonymous with quality and taste, particularly famous for its ButterBurgers and Frozen Custard.
While Culver’s headquarters is nestled in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin, the brand isn’t unfamiliar to the region. The closest Culver’s restaurants to Mansfield are currently located in Medina and Powell.
The company has over 930 restaurants in 26 states, according to Wikipedia. Culver’s menu comprises butter burgers, chicken sandwiches, fish, salads, french fries, and cheese curds. For dessert, the restaurant offers its frozen custard, served in either a dish, cone, or blended into a concrete mixer or shake.
