The new Culver's -- opening soon

Our friends from Wisconsin and Chicagoland gotta be happy about this!

Culver's will open a Flower Mound store in just a few days. The store sits on the southwest corner of the FM2499/FM3040 intersection. For the uninitiated, Culver's is a fast-food, drive-thru and eat-in restaurant that prides itself on being a couple of big steps above its fast-food chain competitors. They serve hamburgers (called ButterBurgers), other sandwiches, custard and ice cream. There's something about a flavor-of-the-day for their ice cream too -- someone tell me about that please.

Culver's has over 300 stores, most of them centered within a few hundred miles of Chicago. If you've got experience with or fond memories of Culver's, post a comment to tell us native or transplanted Texans what we're in store for.

By the way, with Cici's, Chili's, Duke's Ice Cream, Sonic, McDonalds and ChickFilA, we've pretty much got a kids-friendly monopoly at 2499 and 3040.
