Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) February 18, 2016 -- Golden Corral®, the nation’s largest grill-buffet chain, announced plans to transition to sourcing and serving cage-free eggs in all of their 484 corporate and franchise-owned restaurants.
“At Golden Corral, we are pleased to report that we have already begun our move to source eggs from a cage-free environment,” said Golden Corral President and CEO Lance Trenary. “We will continue to work with our suppliers until we achieve 100% cage-free eggs in all domestic locations.
