Since joining the Golden Corral family in 2012, Rey has consistently demonstrated an unwavering focus on quality, service, and people. His leadership philosophy centers on investing in individuals, promoting from within, and cultivating a culture where employees are empowered to grow their careers. This “people-first” approach has built a strong foundation of loyalty, consistency, and performance across all Vasquez Hospitality locations.

Rey’s belief that success is achieved through teamwork has driven continuous advancement throughout the organization. He has expanded his operations team with experienced District Managers and strategic office roles, ensuring every restaurant is equipped with the tools and support needed to deliver exceptional guest experiences.

Vasquez Hospitality proudly upholds Golden Corral’s five-decade legacy of offering wholesome, high-quality food in a family-friendly environment at an exceptional value. Each location reflects the company’s core values of integrity, excellence, and community engagement.

During the global pandemic, Rey’s leadership was instrumental in maintaining stability and continuity. By retaining all managers and continuing their compensation through operational disruptions, Vasquez Hospitality preserved its leadership infrastructure and reinforced its commitment to its people. Enhanced sanitation and safety protocols introduced during that period remain a permanent part of operations today.

As Vasquez Hospitality continues to expand, its mission remains clear — to deliver consistent excellence in hospitality, provide meaningful career opportunities, and contribute positively to every community it serves.

“The Big Date”

Married Michigan couple in hospice had one wish: to go on a date to the Golden Corral

Going out to eat together on a date — it’s something that’s easy to take for granted. But for one local couple, it was their last big wish.

In July 2023, WXYZ Detroit profiled a couple on a special date to our Clinton, Michigan location. 

Watch this video to see how our General Manager Jennifer Smith and our entire Golden Corral team made this day memorable.
