Manchester, NH (RestaurantNews.com) Golden Corral is bringing its signature all-you-can-eat buffet experience with unmatched variety and family-friendly atmosphere to the Queen City community at 655 S. Willow St. The occasion will be marked with a grand opening celebration on Thursday, April 10.
On opening day, Golden Corral is giving away a “Free Buffet for a Year”* to the first 100 guests in line. Additionally, any other guest who signs up for Golden Corral Rewards and selects the Manchester location on April 10 will be entered into a drawing at the end of the day, where 10 more “Free Buffet for a Year” prizes will be awarded.

This location will be locally owned and operated by Sugarloaf Corral Management LLC, led by Founder and CEO Ray Blanchette and operations partner Dale Broach.
