Homeward Kitchen Replaces Old Chik-fil-A this Fall in Southern Pines

What is replacing the old Chik-Fil-A bldg? Golden Corral Corp. is unveiling its new fast-casual dining concept, Homeward Kitchen, in Southern Pines, N.C. Occupying the 4,200-square-foot space previously belonging to Chick-fil-A, this outlet deviates from the traditional buffet style of Golden Corral, targeting a younger audience with counter service. Homeward Kitchen will offer comfort dishes served directly to tables. The menu features both classic comfort food and new additions, with the grand opening set for this fall. The company is also exploring additional sites across several states for this new concept.
