Golden Corral

Golden Corral is an American buffet chain founded in 1973 by James Maynard and William F. Carl.
==History==
In 1971, Maynard and Carl formed an idea which later became Golden Corral after several unsuccessful attempts to acquire a franchise with other companies.https://www.franchisehelp.com/franchises/golden-corral It was incorporated in 1972 and the first Golden Corral Family Steak House opened in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
In 1993, VICORP acquired the right to a chain called Angel's Diner from Eric A. Holm. He had also sold the rights to Golden Corral, resulting in VICORP forcing to pay Golden Corral $1M to secure the exclusive rights.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the chain had to temporarily close down most of its locations just like other restaurants in response to the directives for the prevention of COVID-19 that spread worldwide. Some of the chain's locations were reopened offering cafeteria-style dining and family-style service, while others permanently closed.https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/wake-county-news/golden-corral-closing-2-locations-one-on-raleighs-glenwood-avenue
