Good morning, Dublin. Burger enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as Culver's launches an ambitious expansion across Columbus, with three new locations in the works simultaneously. The Wisconsin-based chain known for its ButterBurgers and frozen custard is doubling down on its Central Ohio presence, including a new spot on Dublin Granville Road—proof that our region's appetite for quality fast-casual dining shows no signs of slowing.
In other exciting developments, the historic Palm House at Franklin Park Conservatory is set for a stunning $35 million transformation thanks to the Wolfe family's generosity. The 1895 landmark will undergo comprehensive renovations starting this January, while across town, Columbus Brewing Company is bringing holiday cheer back to the West Side with its reincarnated "Tracksuit Taproom." The festively decorated space opens November 6, promising spiced ale and seasonal spirit through the winter months.

🍔 Culver's plans three new Columbus burger joints simultaneously. The popular burger and frozen custard chain is expanding its Central Ohio footprint with multiple locations in various development stages. One new restaurant is scheduled to open next month, while two additional sites are now in the planning process. The latest addition to Culver's expansion strategy will be located on Dublin Granville Road. This aggressive growth follows the chain's recent successful openings in the Columbus metropolitan area.
🌴 Historic Palm House gets $35 million facelift from Wolfe family. The Franklin Park Conservatory announced plans to renovate its iconic 1895 Palm House, part of a larger 25-year master plan for the botanical gardens. Funded by a generous gift from the former Columbus Dispatch owners, the project will restore curved glass panels, add energy-efficient upgrades, and install new palms from around the world. Renovations begin in January with completion expected by summer 2027, positioning the conservatory "among America's top public gardens."
🍻 Columbus Brewing's taproom returns with a festive holiday makeover. After nearly two years of closure, the beloved brewery is reopening its West Side location under the new name "Tracksuit Taproom." Starting November 6, the space will transform into a fully decorated "cozy holiday haven" featuring themed music, decor, and the release of their Tracksuit Santa spiced ale. While food trucks will serve patrons initially, the taproom plans to eventually offer its own on-site dining alongside CBC's regular beers and specialty offerings. Operating Thursday through Sunday, the taproom aims to become "the ultimate holiday destination in Columbus."
