WALKER, Michigan — The former Golden Corral on Alpine Avenue is being demolished Wednesday to make room for a Chick-fil-A.
The buffet restaurant closed permanently in October.
"I want to give a special shout out to our city staff, our planning commission, and the corporate Chick-fil-A partners, because they have planned every detail," says Gary Carey, the Mayor of Walker.
The Walker Planning Commission approved a proposal to demolish the building in summer 2022. They later made plans to fill it with a new Chick-fil-A.
We do not know the opening date for the Chick-fil-A as of yet, but updates will be posted on the 13 On Your Side website as they become available.
The next closest Golden Corral restaurant is in Mishawaka, Indiana, nearly two hours away.
