Grand Rapids, MI Culver’s Owner-Operator Receive Highest Honor
Steve Stephan, owner-operator or partner of three Culver’s restaurants in the Greater Grand Rapids area and a native of Alpena, MI, is the recipient of the 2021 GM Culver Award. The award, named after George M. Culver, the father of Co-Founder Craig Culver, is the highest honor in the organization which recognizes individuals who have demonstrated long-term visionary leadership and success.
Steve Stephan joined Culver’s in 2005 as an owner-operator with his first restaurant in Grand Rapids, MI. His latest restaurant will open in Lowell, MI sometime in May.
“Steve is very deserving of this honor as an exceptional owner-operator and restaurant partner,” said Culver’s Co-Founder Craig Culver, during the award presentation in Indianapolis, IN.
“Steve is a true partner of the brand. He has created a legacy of developing team members and connecting to his communities,” Culver added.
Throughout the years, Stephan’s restaurants have supported the local schools through Share Nights, donations and backing of parent/teacher organization events. His restaurants sponsor the local youth baseball leagues. And, he works with the local FFA chapter to provide as much assistance as he can offer to help their growth.
Stephan also serves on the board for his local downtown development authority and serves as an advisor for the Kent County Health department and a liaison for the restaurants within the area.
“This is truly an honor. I truly appreciate this. I am looking forward to continuing to grow our restaurant teams,” said Stephan. “I want to thank our guests for welcoming Culver’s with open arms, it’s been an honor to serve and work in our communities.”
