Culver’s, a fast-casual restaurant chain, is planning its first eatery in the Chattanooga area near Northgate Mall, a developer said.
Construction is slated to start around March, with an opening in September if work goes smoothly, Jack Hillen of restaurant developer 38 Foods said by phone.
The location at 505 Northgate Mall Drive is close to the Highway 153 entrance to the mall, he said. That’s not far from the site of the former longtime Sears store that’s under demolition and where a BJ’s Wholesale Club is to go up.
“It was one of the better sites available,” Hillen said.
Mall owner CBL Properties did not return a request for comment.
