HOPE MILLS — Cumberland County’s first Culver’s restaurant in Hope Mills and is set to hold its grand opening Monday, marking a new dining option for residents and joining the other 17 locations in North Carolina for the Wisconsin-based chain.
Franchise owner Adrian Madsen said the 4,789-square-foot building at 3320 Camden Road in the Millstone Shopping Center will serve a variety of menu items, including butter burgers and frozen custard.
The chain, which primarily operates in the Midwest, first opened in 1984.
“If you’ve never gone inside and sat down in a Culver’s dining room, then you haven’t experienced Culver’s,” Madsen said recently.
Madsen said that after retiring from an Army career that began in 1991, he reflected on the many places he’d been stationed, noting it was in Colorado where he first ate at a Culver’s. He said his family often sought out Culver’s, appreciating the restaurant’s clean, family-friendly atmosphere.
