A restaurant started by the grandson of a Wisconsin cheese maker is coming to Big Rapids Township.

Culver's, a family oriented restaurant chain that features ButterBurgers and frozen custard, is planning on building a new facility in Big Rapids Township according to Township supervisor Bill Stanek.

“They have told us they would like to start soon is all. The location that they've applied for is across [from] the Meijer gas station – just east of the Meijer gas station.”

Stanek notes that although no date for groundbreaking has been set, the project is definitely moving forward.

“It is yes. They've gone a long way already. They have site plan approval and they've applied for the building permit.”

Based out of Sauk City, Wisconsin, Culver's currently has 560 franchises across 22 states.
