Business Luncheon - 8/18/2010

Craig was fascinated with the world of quick cuisine, and during college, he worked summers at the Farm Kitchen where he met his wife and future business partner, Lea Weiss. After graduating from UW-Oshkosh in 1973, Craig worked at McDonald’s for four years and gained many insights that he was eager to apply to his own business.   Today, Craig and Lea own nine Culver’s and oversee more than 400 franchised restaurants in 17 states through Culver Franchising System, Inc.

Through the hard work of each owner/operator and their teams, you know that when you step into a Culver’s, you’ll always enjoy fresh, delicious food served with a side of friendly smiles and warm hospitality. That’s what it means to be Culverized.
