FAIRHOPE, Ala. A fast-food restaurant is the latest business to seek approval from the city of Fairhope to build near State Highway 181 and State Highway 104.
If approved, Culver’s Restaurant would be built on a parcel that sits in front of the Planters Pointe shopping center.
After an earlier plan was turned down over parking issues, a new site plan for Culver’s is up for approval during the next planning commission meeting.
Culver’s history: “In 1984, Craig and Lea Culver, along with Craig’s parents George and Ruth, opened the very first Culver’s in the family’s beloved hometown of Sauk City, Wisconsin, and began serving ButterBurgers® and Frozen Custard.
The Culver family knew right away that although the business is centered around food, it is really about the people. While folks can vividly recall the first time, that they bit into a ButterBurger or tasted a scoop of rich, creamy Fresh Frozen Custard, it’s our way of welcoming guests that truly makes Culver’s delicious.”
If Culver gets the go ahead, construction could begin almost immediately.
Culver’s Restaurants currently operate in Mobile, Foley, Orange Beach, and throughout Alabama.
