Rumors confirmed: Buffalo Wild Wings is slated to occupy the former Golden Corral space at 3420 N 14th St, between CVS/pharmacy and Olive Garden.
Numerous rumors have circulated since the 2016 closing of Golden Corral of what will replace it, from Culver’s to Skippers to Sonic to the restaurant itself re-opening. The last of which really wasn’t hard to believe since it did close once before and re-opened under a different name before resuming operations as Golden Corral.
Buffalo Wild Wings is the rumor that is proving to be true. The building is owned by Blazing Wings Properties – a Fargo-based Buffalo Wild Wings franchise owner. It will be the restaurant’s second location in Bismarck. Its first – at 218 S 3rd St – opened in early 2005 inside an expanded and remodeled building that formerly housed multiple tenants.
Bismarck’s Golden Corral first opened in 2007. It re-branded to Iron Kettle in 2011 before shuttering the first time and re-opening under corporate ownership in 2012. It closed a final time in 2016.
