A Culver’s franchise is set to break ground in Humble this coming February, according to a recent filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The filing, dated October 8, indicates that construction is slated to begin early next year, with the project expected to wrap up by July.
While a public opening date has not yet been announced, the timeline suggests roughly a five-to-six-month build period.
What It Will Serve
Once operational, the new location will offer the signature butter burgers that Culver’s is known for, along with chicken sandwiches, fish dishes, salads, and their frozen custard—complete with rotating “flavor of the day,” mix-ins, and toppings. The full suite of burgers, sides, and desserts mirrors what patrons find in other Culver’s locations.
Location & Site Details
The restaurant is expected to be built at the intersection of Greens Road and Woodland Hills Drive in Humble. The exact parcel address hasn’t been publicly disclosed yet, and the filing describes it merely as “Greens Road and Woodland Hills Drive, Humble.”
At present, no further details (like lot size, parking layout, or drive-through design) are available, but those are likely to emerge as permitting and design advance.

Key Timelines
