(Local Buffet style restaurant closes its doors). The Golden Corral closed up shop this week.

Almost exactly 20 years after they first opened in Imperial County. The restaurant did not appear to be hurting for business. It seemed to be very popular with seniors, snowbirds and others. That does not appear to have been a problem. There has been no official reason given for the restaurant to close its Imperial Valley Business. Unofficially, sources say the problem was the rent. The Land owners wanted to raise the rent, and the franchise owner did not agree with the increase. For those who really miss the buffet style of Golden Corral can still get it. The Yuma Restaurant is still open for business.
