Lizz Remington’s path to Culver’s ownership is a testament to perseverance, passion, and purpose. Originally from Whitewater, Wisconsin, Lizz joined the Culver’s family in January 2013, thanks to a little encouragement from her brother, Keith Remington. At first, she wasn’t sure about stepping into the demanding world of restaurant ownership—but that uncertainty didn’t last long.
Starting as a team member in Indiana, Lizz quickly proved herself. Her strong work ethic, natural leadership, and love for the Culver’s brand helped her rise through the ranks, eventually earning the role of General Manager. Under her leadership, the restaurant earned the coveted Ruth Hospitality Award, one of Culver’s highest honors. The award celebrates those who bring the brand’s signature hospitality to life—something Lizz does wholeheartedly, every single day.
After a three-year break, Lizz returned to Culver’s as an Operations Manager, where she deepened her understanding of what it takes to own and operate a successful franchise. That experience paved the way for her next big step: becoming the proud owner of the Valparaiso, Indiana Culver’s.
As an owner, Lizz leads from the heart. She’s hands-on in the day-to-day operations, actively supports her team’s growth, and fosters a culture of care and connection. For Lizz, ownership isn’t just about running a business—it’s about building community. Whether it’s hosting share nights or donating frozen custard to local schools and churches, she finds joy in giving back.
Her commitment to hospitality reaches beyond the front counter. Lizz extended her restaurant’s hours to offer a safe, welcoming place for local youth to gather. She cherishes every chance to connect with guests, making sure everyone who walks through the doors feels valued—and leaves with a smile.
To those dreaming of becoming a Culver’s owner, Lizz shares this advice: be patient, stay focused, and enjoy the journey. The road may have its challenges, but the rewards—watching your team thrive, seeing your community grow, and making a difference—are more than worth it.
Lizz Remington is more than just a franchisee—she’s a true Culver’s ambassador. Her dedication, heart, and leadership continue to inspire everyone lucky enough to work alongside her.
