(NEXSTAR) Wisconsinites and their neighbors are no strangers to the beloved Butter Burgers, frozen custard, and the collecting of Scoopie Tokens from Culver’s. They’ll rush to get the Curder Burger when it returns to the menu for a limited time and try a cheese curd variation, even though Culver’s cheese curds are delectable on their own.
This year, several communities throughout the country will get to experience what Wisconsinites already love about the Badger State native.
Culver’s, which operates 1,000 locations across 26 states, is opening nearly two dozen new locations before the end of the year.

Unsurprisingly, Wisconsin, where Culver’s was founded, has the greatest number of restaurants at 150. That doesn’t include the soon-to-open locations.
After Wisconsin, it’s Illinois at 138, Florida at 120, and Michigan at 102. Arkansas and Wyoming each have two locations.
According to the Culver’s website, there are several states or at least portions of them in which the company has franchise opportunities. That includes Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming.
Other areas, like all of Wisconsin and Michigan, roughly half of North Dakota and South Dakota, and portions of Florida, Texas, Indiana, Illinois, and Wyoming, are only available to existing franchisees currently operating there.
In 24 states, all or most of the area is considered “future markets” that are “currently not available.” That includes areas in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Alaska and Hawaii were omitted from the map.
