Episode Details

Culver’s is set to expand into Wilmington with a new 4,500-square-foot restaurant on Van Campen Boulevard, complete with a double drive-thru, outdoor seating, and 95 parking spots — construction slated for 2027. The chain, already ranked 24th on the Top 500 Chain Restaurants list, plans 59 new locations nationwide this year, including potential spots in Brunswick and Pender counties. The site, formerly Kirkland’s Homes, will require permits to remove a heritage tree and is zoned for high-intensity commercial use. Traffic projections show 2,400 daily vehicles, with half using the drive-thru — especially on Saturdays. Designed by SNL Designs with stone and wood accents, this move signals major growth for the Midwest favorite in coastal North Carolina.
