Maplewood  Mall.   It is in the SE corner of  White Bear Ave and Woodlyn Ave.  Woodlyn is
a block south of County Rd 'D'.  The Golden Corral is a bit hard to see, but the Aldi's
Supermarket is very obvious and the Golden Corral is next door to the east.
The MAPLE GROVE is 13603 Grove Drive, Maple Grove, MN 55311  The Golden Corral is in the
commercial area immediately north of the I-94/I-695/I-494 junction in the NW metro. Exit
I-94 on Weaver Lake Road EASTBOUND. (Weaver Lake Road is the FIRST exit North (West ?) of
the Interstate junction.)

Go EAST on Weaver Lake Road to the traffic light at 83rd Way N and turn SOUTH.  Cross
Grove Drive into the large parking lot. The Golden Corral is at the OTHER END of the
parking lot, ahead of you.  Follow the aisle until you can turn right in the parking area
