Culver's is celebrating its 40th anniversary this July with various festivities — from the new Berry Happy Birthday Concrete Mixer which will be available only in July to a 40 Years of Delicious sweepstakes with daily prizes which will culminate in a $40,000 grand prize.
Throughout the month, Culver's will also offer several promotions. On three Thursdays in July, customers can enjoy free sprinkles on any custard dish, a portion of sales donated to local organizations, and a buy-one-get-one-free offer on shakes and malts during designated hours.
The Berry Happy Birthday Concrete Mixer, on the other hand, features "a delightful blend of Vanilla Fresh Frozen Custard swirled with ribbons of blueberries, plus even more freeze-dried blueberries that bring a light crunch." The beverage is complete with whipped cream and a birthday cake pop.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Limited-time Menu Items
- Restaurants can generate excitement and exclusivity by introducing celebratory or seasonal products, driving traffic and buzz during specific periods.
- Experiential Sweepstakes
- Brands create memorable customer engagement and loyalty through high-value sweepstakes, incentivizing repeat visits and broader marketing reach.
- Community-focused Promotions
- Increased customer goodwill and local support can be achieved through collaborative promotions with community organizations, enhancing brand image.
Sectors Adopting This
- Food and Beverage
- The sector is ripe for innovation with exclusive, celebratory menu items that drive short-term sales spikes and customer engagement.
- Marketing and Advertising
- Creative promotional campaigns, including sweepstakes and community partnerships, can distinctly elevate a brand's market presence and customer loyalty.
- Retail Hospitality
- Leveraging time-limited offers and special events can significantly boost foot traffic and create memorable experiences that foster repeat business.
