"The Golden Corral buffet and grill concept made steady gains during the past three years despite uncertain economic conditions," said Ted Fowler, President and CEO. "The bullish outlook for 2004 represents a further opportunity for us," he added. "In 2003 our franchisees and company operators opened 24 Golden Corrals and we awarded a record 72 franchises for new markets. When developed, those new markets will add more than $200 million annually to systemwide sales." Another record was set when 54 Golden Corral restaurants achieved sales in 2003 of more than $4 million, including nine above $5 million and one which broke the $6 million mark for the first time in the system's history. At year-end, there were 467 restaurants in the Golden Corral system, 345 operated by franchisees. Golden Corrals served 167.5 million guests in 2003 and the average check for all day parts was $7.45.
