About

About Golden Corral Golden Corral, America's largest All-You-Can-Eat Buffet concept, is on an ambitious journey to expand its footprint. The brand utilizes a range of development options, including free-standing, ground-ups, existing restaurant conversions and nontraditional retail spaces such as malls and endcaps. This real estate flexibility along with tailored market strategies are critical to the brand's growth. With over 50 years of providing delicious food at a value price point, Golden Corral continues to be "The Choice" for a comfortable family-oriented dining experience boasting both increased sales and foot traffic. With a solid reputation in the industry, the brand is a great, positive addition to local markets and individual retail developments. In addition to offering a choice of development options, Golden Corral has the added flexibility to adjust its signature concept into a number of building sizes in order to bring the buffet experience to all market sizes. Typical building sizes range from 8,200 - 10,800 but smaller spaces can be accommodated for specific spaces and nontraditional development (travel centers, etc). A 20-minute drive-time population of 75,000 for our smaller markets and 160,000 within 15-minutes for larger markets is targeted as well as 25,000 ADT.
