Golden Corral set to open Thursday

Golden Corral’s Cape Girardeau restaurant will open Thursday, according to a news release.

The restaurant had planned to open Monday, pending several inspections, which Kevin Behan, speaking on behalf of the restaurant, said have been completed.

“It was just a matter of getting the inspections passed and that sort of thing. I just heard from the folks over there today that everything’s all set to open now on Thursday,” he said.

The buffet-style restaurant at 130 Vantage Drive formerly was another buffet-style restaurant, Ryan’s.

“We believe Cape Girardeau is a great fit for our newest franchised restaurant,” franchise owner Harry Robbins said. “Residents of the area are used to the buffet-restaurant concept, and we look forward to providing them with the nation’s best grill-buffet experience.”

The news release also said the restaurant will provide more than 100 jobs to the area.
