Culver's celebrates 40 years with new Concrete Mixer, other promotions

Jun. 25—Culver's, a Wisconsin-based restaurant chain, is celebrating its 40th birthday with a month-long celebration in July.

"Back in 1984, my parents, George and Ruth, taught us what was most important: making food the right way and going the extra mile to treat people with kindness. After 40 years, we're still inspired to do that every single day."

Starting July 1, guests can visit 40yearsofdelicious.com to "open a birthday present for a chance to win a daily prize and to be entered to win the $40,000 grand prize." Daily prizes range from free menu items to gift cards and merch.
