HUNTLEY – Culver's Inc. is looking to replace its existing Huntley restaurant with a new 4,207-square-foot restaurant with a drive-thru on Outlot 8 of Huntley Crossings at the southeast corner of Route 47 and Powers Road.
Culver's has been at Village Green at 13240 Route 47, a site it shares with a Mobile gas station, since 2000.
The new location would be a standalone restaurant, said Victor Narusis, business recruitment coordinator for the village of Huntley.
The Huntley Village Board saw a conceptual review of the proposed restaurant development and request for a special use permit in December. The proposal still needs to go through the development review process and get formal approval from the Plan Commission and the Village Board.
The co-petitioners are Culver's Inc., as contract purchaser, and Huntley Crossings Development LLC, as owner, according to village documents.
Culver's has more than 450 locations in 20 states. Each restaurant employs 30 to 75 workers year-round, with about 10 additional summertime positions, according to the company's website.
