Yes, the Culver's in Platteville is toast. A smoldering wreckage. An icon is gone but apparently never to be forgotten. And it WILL be rebuilt.
The owner of this franchise was wonderfully insured. Not just for his own pocket book but for his employees as well. For the next 60 days his employees will continue to receive their wages, in full. Happy Holiday! Other Culver's owners in the area have opened their arms and offered his employees a job to fill the void. Yes, such is Culver's.
Apparently, the fire was just one of those shitty things that happens, something electrical in the middle of the night. He has promised to rebuild, bigger and better. Yeah, there just isn't anything better than a bigger and better Culver's. If you have never been to a Culver's you just don't know how incredibly wonderful that is.
Those of us formally of Platteville are already planning on being there for opening day. With a smile on our faces, a song in our hearts and a tap dance across the parking lot. Yeah, Culver's is THAT good. But more than anything, this particular venue holds too many memories for all of us. Too many Buttterburgers, too many sundaes, too much frozen custard and WAY too many Lemon-Ices. And the memory of a crazy Basset Hound who loved onion rings as much as we did. (Is that actually possible???)
To all of you caramel-cashew nut loving whores in Platteville, I say, hang on, the good times will be coming back. And a bunch of crazies will be there to join you!!!
