Golden Corral Sets the Table for Expansion in Bowling Green

Golden Corral is growing again. The nation’s largest buffet-style restaurant brand has announced its latest signed franchise agreement to develop a new location in Bowling Green, Kentucky. This expansion reflects the brand’s continued momentum as it expands in new and existing markets, bringing its delicious buffet offerings to guests searching for a high-quality, value-driven, family-oriented dining experience.

The Bowling Green expansion adds a new franchisee to the current franchise family that shares the brand’s vision of growth and innovation, as well as the commitment to being a leader in the family-dining segment. It also underscores a broader trend: communities are showing strong demand for buffet dining — particularly the variety, affordability, and family-friendly atmosphere Golden Corral has offered for more than 50 years.

“Our team has been very intentional about identifying high-potential markets where our value-driven model meets strong consumer interest in the community,” said David Conklin, Chief Development Officer at Golden Corral. “Bowling Green is a market where the right mix of demographics, strong retail and restaurant development, and guest demand make it a great fit. 

Recent openings in cities such as Fresno, California and Ponce, Puerto Rico, have demonstrated the brand’s ability to quickly establish a presence, drive guest traffic, and exceed early projections. In addition, Golden Corral’s buffet model is designed to be both scalable and adaptable, with a building type available for every market. The brand offers flexible development options, including traditional ground-up buildings, second-generation restaurant and retail conversions, endcap and in-line locations, and non-traditional venues. These options allow franchisees to navigate the real estate and development constraints faced in an increasing number of markets. 

Franchisees also benefit from an experienced Golden Corral Support Center team, offering expertise in real estate, construction, training, marketing, and ongoing day-to-day operations. With these resources and guidance, Golden Corral empowers franchisees to launch and expand with confidence.

For prospective franchise operators, the brand’s long history at the top of the buffet and family-dining segment — coupled with its continued investment in innovation and focused market expansion — make Golden Corral a top franchise choice!
