When our first Golden Corral® restaurant opened in Fayetteville, NC back in 1973, a fledgling Golden Corral® Corporation took a confident first step into the restaurant business, beginning a tradition of partnering great tasting food with friendly service for the best value.

Golden Corral® family-style restaurants offer the biggest and best buffet and grill available anywhere. Our famous buffet contains an array of food choices including hot meat options, pasta, pizza, fresh vegetables, salad bar and a selection of carved meats at dinner and on Sundays.

We are most proud of our Great Steak Buffet featuring "all-you-can-eat" sirloin steak. Golden Corral’s steaks are USDA inspected, cut fresh daily for better flavor and juiciness and are grilled to order. We also provide a variety of menu items that are cooked at the grill station in front of our guests. Grilled chicken, pork, salmon steaks, steak burgers, sausage, and more provide a constant variety of delicious grilled products for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The Brass Bell Bakery® and Dessert Café serve up fresh baked goods and tempting desserts each and every day. In fact, piping hot yeast rolls, delicious cookies and fudge brownies are baked fresh every fifteen minutes!

Since the beginning, Golden Corral® has been committed to making pleasurable dining affordable for each and every guest. Through the dedicated efforts of our caring and knowledgeable staff, we are able to serve our guests the highest quality foods at reasonable prices in a clean and friendly atmosphere, because "Everyone Deserves a Good Meal™."

"To be the leading family restaurant system by making pleasurable dining affordable to every guest, at every restaurant, every day."

Franchise Sales Continue Record Pace

AT GOLDEN CORRAL 26 NEW MARKETS AWARDED IN FIRST HALF OF 2004
RALEIGH, N.C.--Franchise sales for Golden Corral continued at a record rate in the first half of 2004 with eight new franchise entities signed and commitments received to develop 26 new markets, the buffet and grill system announced.

Larry Tate, Senior Vice President of Franchise Sales, said that the performance during the January-June period keeps the company comfortably ahead of both the budget goal and the pace established in full-year 2003 when an all-time high of 72 new market awards were made.

"Documents are out to two additional franchise prospects and we expect to have them signed and paid in early July, which gives a kick-start to the second half of the year," Mr. Tate said. "Also in the next few weeks, we'll be meeting with four or five highly qualified restaurant operators and business people and we're optimistic that they will join our franchise community.

At Golden Corral, we value the diversity of our employees, franchises, guests and suppliers by respecting the individual through communicating and providing a meaningful, inclusive environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to be successful and productive.
