WARSAW — Those looking to get their fix of Culver’s ButterBurgers or frozen custard now have another location in the area to visit to do so.
The Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce had a ribbon-cutting for Culver’s second Warsaw location at 2455 Jalynn St., on Monday, Oct. 10.
Franchise Owner Kevin Ray said the second location had been in the works for a year, and he’s excited that it’s now open.
“Culver’s does lots of studies on traffic patterns and so we think this one is going to be a pretty different traffic pattern and at the volume of the other restaurant, we’ve had pretty good success with being up in sales and helping as many people as we can, so hopefully we can spread out the load and keep giving really, really good service,” he said.
Customers were lined up early on Monday to partake in a special: the first 100 people are getting a pint of custard every month for a year.
“The very first person that I got to meet was Mike. He was here at 8:05 a.m. Then drive-thru probably started lining up around 9 a.m.,” Ray said.
He emphasized the restaurant’s custard.
“It’s never too cold for custard. I know it’s about to be cold, but you can always come get that custard,” Ray said.
The restaurant is currently staffed by about 50 employees, said Ray, noting that he hopes to hire 20-25 more. People may stop by to eat from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week.
Ray shared how he hopes the business is able to serve the community.
“Culver’s is all about the hospitality and getting to know people in the town and hopefully we can do some giveback nights with either a school or any nonprofit organization,” said Ray. “We love doing that kind of thing and it helps us out and it helps that organization out. Just to make it a strong part of the community.”
“It’s just not a restaurant in town you can eat at; it’s a place that people like to hang out and enjoy their family and friends,” he continued.
