Strangely, on Sunday, Jan. 7, on the Golden Corral Facebook page for that location, a post stated “Nothing beats enjoying a great meal and a few smiles, we’re honored to serve extra helpings of both” despite the page also saying that it is permanently closed.
OzarksFirst got no response when calling the Kansas Expressway location. When speaking with an employee at the Primrose Place location, they said they knew nothing about the closing and that the northern location had a different owner.
