Wisconsin franchise to open new location in Kansas City’s Northland
A Wisconsin-based burger franchise is coming soon to Kansas City’s Northland.
Culver’s, known for its butter burgers (burgers with buttered buns), cheese curds and frozen custard, plans to open at Zona Rosa, 7160 NW Barry Road, according to Culver’s restaurant locator. Its opening will mark the ninth location in Kansas City and the fourth in the Northland.
Culver’s was founded in 1984 by the Culver family restaurant in their hometown, Sauk City, according to its website. The franchise now has over 900 locations across the country and emphasizes using fresh beef, white chicken and Wisconsin dairy for its popular cheese curds.
Natalie Bass, marketing director with Zona Rosa, said this marks a turning point for the shopping center and added more openings have yet to be announced.
“A lot is in our pipeline, this is just the tip of the iceberg,” she said.
Trevor Glenn, director of marketing and communications with Mitchell Private Holdings LLC, told The Star the new Culver’s location is aiming to open this upcoming June, but an exact date has yet to be announced.
Other tenants at the Northland shopping center include Bo Lings, American Eagle Outfitters, Sephora, Barnes & Noble and more.
