In the restaurant's first five weeks in operation, the popularity of the Ole Times Country Buffet in Statesboro has exceeded his expectations, said Pat O'Neal, owner of the Valdosta-based chain. As a result, his latest venture has created more than the 50 or so jobs he predicted. In fact, the Ole Times Country Buffet here currently employs more than 70 people.
