The fast-casual restaurant chain on an accelerated expansion plan is ensuring its distribution network can handle increased volume.
Culver’s is leveraging engineering and redistribution services from Armada Supply Chain Solutions to strengthen and scale its distribution network. The retailer, which has been adding 50-55 new locations annually, is projecting a 40 per cent increase in cases shipped annually between 2026 and 2030 as it plans to maintain that expansion pace over the next three to five years including growth into markets such as Pennsylvania, New York and Oklahoma.
Culver’s expects Armada redistribution services, network engineering and supply chain orchestration to yield significant cost savings and efficiency improvements through supplier optimisation, freight consolidation and improved supply chain visibility, scaling its supply chain infrastructure as its distribution volume grows.
“At Culver’s, we hold every aspect of our operations to the highest standard and our supply chain is no exception,” said Adam Shrif, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Culver’s. “We selected Armada because they demonstrated the expertise, technology and commitment required to support our long-term growth strategy. Their ability to orchestrate our distribution network, improve supply chain visibility and serve as a true end-to-end solutions partner gives us confidence that we can scale efficiently while maintaining the operational excellence our franchisees and guests expect.”
Founded in 1984 in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin, Culver’s is a family-owned fast-casual restaurant chain that ranks among the top 30 largest restaurant brands in the US by systemwide sales and continues to expand its footprint with more than 1,000 locations nationwide.
