Culver’s Opens New Green Prototype Restaurant

QSRWeb:

Culver’s new restaurant in West Baraboo, Wisc., is the company’s first focusing on energy efficiency and is in line to become one of Wisconsin’s first restaurants certified “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design” (LEED) by the U.S. Green Building Council.

The new restaurant, which officially opens Tuesday at 420 Linn St., replaces the original Baraboo restaurant which opened in 1990.

“This restaurant will be like a classroom to us,” said Jon Sandeman, Culver’s project architect and LEED project administrator. “We will learn the return on investment on each of the design elements and from that determine which efficiency measures might be good additions system-wide. Here we’ll be able to test sustainable strategies that our franchisees may not be able to undertake.”
