Golden Corral Coming to Closed Maple Grove Old Country Buffet

Twin Cities-area Old Country Buffet enthusiasts will not be devoid of all-you-can eat options for much longer.

Golden Corral will be taking over the former homes of Old Country Buffet restaurants in Maple Grove and Maplewood, according to the Star Tribune. The local spot at 13603 Grove Drive is set to open this month.

"In February, Old Country Buffet’s parent company decided to close 74 restaurants, or 30 percent of the chain’s total, including seven in the Twin Cities area — in Maplewood, Richfield, Crystal, Roseville, Fridley, West St. Paul and Woodbury," the story says. "Two others, in Maple Grove and Coon Rapids, closed soon after. And the parent firm, Buffets LLC of San Antonio, began a bankruptcy restructuring the following month."

Golden Corral's legendary, endless buffet features an abundant variety of main and side dishes, and boasts continuous new menu offerings for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
