Eden Prairie’s newest restaurant opened for business yesterday: Culver’s. Culver’s is part of the SW Metro Transit Hub development. It is the western anchor of the commercial developments that will eventually surround the transit hub and its parking garage. The Pickled Parrot is on the southeastern end of the development and a future Krispy Kreme will be on the northeast corner. The Pickled Parrot has been open since December 2000. I expect the Krispy Kreme to be open by late fall.

This is view looking east of the new strip commercial development that will lie between the Pickled Parrot and Culver’s. This development will include a number of new restaurants, incuding: Noodles & Company, Chipotle Grill, Bear Rock Cafe, and Old Chicago.

Good planning by SW Metro and cooperation with the City of Eden Prairie has led to the development success of the transit hub development. Cheers to Len Simich and his Board for their foresight and patience. This is going to be a great addition to our community
