You’ve heard of the California Gold Rush, but now there is a new California rush and it is with Golden Corral. The nation’s largest grill-buffet chain, Golden Corral, is a dominating force in the restaurant buffet market space. The North Carolina-based brand, with nearly 500 locations nationwide, is built on consistent leadership and a long history of private ownership. Nowhere is the popularity, success, and expansion of the brand more on display than the California market. “Our customers love the food and I appreciate the support that Golden Corral has provided,” said Rey Vasquez, a Multi-Unit Golden Corral Franchisee.
