WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — The Golden Corral restaurant at 4965 University Parkway closed Dec. 30 — 20 years to the day it opened in 1995, according to the Winston-Salem Journal.
Dave Gronewoller, the president and chief executive of GC Partners Inc., a Golden Corral franchisee based in Winston-Salem, said that GC Partners’ franchise agreement for that location had expired.
He said that a vice president of Golden Corral told him that the University Parkway location, which is owned by GC Partners, would not qualify for a franchise agreement in today’s market.
Gronewoller said he looked for a new site but was not able to find one.
