“Darryl brings a tremendous amount of experience, success and leadership in the restaurant industry to the Golden Corral management team,” said Lance Trenary, president and CEO of Golden Corral. “We felt his knowledge of the casual dining segment, as well as his entrepreneurial experience, was very valuable given the direction we plan on taking the company. Darryl will play an important role in how Golden Corral elevates the dining experience for its customers.”
