Culver's In Grand Junction, Colorado

If you drove past Culver's in Grand Junction last night, January 2, 2023, you probably noticed the lights were on, the place was packed, and the parking lot was full. Curious if they had opened for business, I stopped by.

As it turns out, the crowd inside were in fact employees doing their orientation. At a glance, it looks as though about a fourth of the population of Grand Junction has been employed by this restaurant. They've hired a large crew.

First Glance At The New Restaurant

You'll notice the building exudes an inviting vibe. Peek through the windows and you'll notice a clean, modern appearance. It looks to offer ample seating and excellent parking.

An Interesting Thing About the Layout

After surveying the new facility, one thing struck me as odd. It looks as though they honored the footprint of the Burger King building which previously occupied this space. As a matter of fact, when it comes to the layout, it's almost identical. Even the drive-thru mirrors the exact footprint of the old Burger King.

With this in mind, I'm unclear why the previous building was demolished, only to construct a new building with the same footprint.
