FLORENCE-The Shoals Chamber welcomes Golden Corral to Florence and to the Shoals Chamber by helping them celebrate their grand opening with a ribbon cutting on Wednesday, September 21. Golden Corral was happy to host the grand opening of their newest location right here in Florence with food and friends.
Now a little about Golden Corral by Golden Corral:
“Founded in 1973, privately held Golden Corral Corp. is headquartered in Raleigh, N.C. Lance Trenary serves as its president and chief executive officer. Golden Corral has 480 restaurants in 40 states. The company’s vision is to be the leader in the family restaurant segment by making pleasurable dining affordable for every guest, at every restaurant, every day. Golden Corral restaurants nation-wide have long been strong supporters of the U.S. Military and the Disabled American Veterans (DAV). Golden Corral has helped raise more than $11.5 mil-lion for the DAV as part of its annual “Military Appreciation Night” initiative.
The Florence restaurant features endless home-style buffet favorites such as pot roast, fried chicken, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and steamed vegetables, plus a variety of international tastes and flavors including Italian and Mexican and sig-nature seafood dishes on its Lighthouse Seafood Bay buffet. Guests can also enjoy premium meats slow smoked in-house over aged mesquite wood at our Smoke-house station. Sirloin steak is grilled to order, carved, and served daily at dinner. As a complement to the hot buffet items, the restaurant features a market-fresh salad bar, where guests may build their own salads from dozens of ingredients.
Rounding out the buffet offering, a variety of cakes, pies, and homemade breads—including warm, melt-in-your-mouth yeast rolls—are served on the Bakery buffet. In addition to the lunch and dinner buffets, the new Florence Golden Corral will serve a Sunrise Breakfast Buffet every Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning.
The 10,900 square ft. Florence Golden Corral has seating capacity for 378 guests and brings 120 jobs to the community. “We are happy to bring a Golden Corral to the Florence community and we look forward to treating our friends and neigh-bors to a wide variety of high quality, home-style foods,” says General Manager Scott Thompson, “We’ll treat you like family… guaranteed.”
