Culver's brings more signature ButterBurgers and fresh frozen custard to Jacksonville

Florida Times-Union

Culver's celebrated the grand opening of its newest Jacksonville restaurant Sept. 27 at 7818 Gate Parkway, near IKEA, on the city's Southside.

It's ButterBurgers galore. Not to mention fresh frozen custard, cheese curds and more old-fashion comfort food plus snacks like pretzel bites.

Culver's opened its newest restaurant Sept. 27 at 7818 Gate Parkway on Jacksonville's Southside, the company confirmed via Twitter. The opening first was reported by the Jacksonville Daily Record.

The restaurant's opening comes just two years after Culver's opened its first Northeast Florida location in Middleburg. Since then, other restaurants have opened at 7923 Parramore Road on Jacksonville's Westside and 45 Fountains Ave. N. in St. Johns. In January, Culver's opened in St. Augustine at 3433 U.S. 1.
