RALEIGH, N.C., March 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Golden Corral Corporation announced that it was forced to suspend operations for 35 company-operated restaurants as a result of COVID-19.  Some franchise restaurants are still operating across the country in accordance with local and state mandates, while others have suspended operations.

The announcement that company-owned restaurants were suspending operations was shared during a virtual town hall meeting with company leaders, coworkers and franchise owners. "It is truly an emotional and challenging time for our country," Golden Corral CEO Lance Trenary said during the meeting.
