Caves?

They were going to go into bankruptcy if they did not stop their idiocy.

I agree completely. When I am on the road, I want decent quality comfort food that I can eat and be done within an hour or so. I don’t really give a shite what color they paint the place .

So just to be clear, you didn’t care about the rainbow rocking chairs then?

The old man agreed to let the Trump administration get the copy of the Epstein files he had out of the barrel and they let him go home....

Yet another desperate, nonsensical AwgustaDog post. On a roll lately!

Are President Trump, the Cracker Barrel old man, or the Epstein files in the room with us now?

I wouldn't say they were going into bankruptcy just because they painted the walls white and changed the logo.

I'm not going to feed my family that slop no matter how many two man handsaws they have on the wall. CBs base is old white people (just like Piccadilly or Lubys). Take a look at incender.com/babyboomer_deathclock. A boomer dies every 14 seconds, 6,000 will die today (a 24 hour period) and those numbers accelerate daily because of age. Its a broken model because their customers have aged out (died or will die soon). And as bad as the food is they better serve booze, you need to be about halfway in the bag to eat that crap.


Starts his post by stating he won’t go to Cracker Barrel then proceeds to claim to know who does go to Cracker Barrel.

It can get fricked.

shite ruins everything it touches. It's literal poison.


I hate the misuse of this word almost as much as I hate progressive rebranding of classic businesses.

You don’t have to go yourself to know who their customer base is

No one actually knows that they spent $700 million. Maybe they just made that shite up.


Publicly traded. Can't lie about stuff like that.

That said, hard to see how they spent that much that quickly. Maybe they have warehouses full of new materials for the rebranding that haven't been deployed yet. I've seen two since this announcement that are unchanged on the exterior, at least.

I still havent understood how so many people were triggered by a rebrand.

On the surface, it seems like just a poor business move, not anything nefarious.

They've screwed with the menu plenty over the last decade which has resulted in less traffic.


Yes, it has gotten worse. They need to focus on the food and service.

they added booze to their menu and shove a drink menu in your face at 8am when you just want breakfast, something that made them unique was the lack of alcohol and enhanced a family atmosphere.


I don't think serving alcohol is a bad idea, but it shouldn't be a big part of the identity like they are attempting. Having the option is fine, but it shouldn't be a "party brunch" type of place. Love a dinner beer or weekend bloody mary though.

What’s sad is you’re stupid enough to believe what you’ve posted. Every day you make more of an arse of yourself than the day before. It’s actually impressive how you out-do yourself daily in making a complete arse of yourself than the day before. Completely useless with zero redeeming qualities and universally despised by all. Yet, like a case of herpes, you keep coming back. You’re a small little virus that won’t go away.

You think you have to physically sit in companies to know who their markets are?

It is actually pretty good. Can I get one of these CEO jobs for a month?? I can tank the company like this dumb liberal did and I’ll do it for half the salary. These democrats are progressively getting more and more stupid. The country is done with this nonsense the dems are trying to shove down our throats.

Judging from your downvotes, this place never tires of imagined skirmishes in the Culture Wars. Oh, the stories they'll tell their grandchildren about restaurant chains saved from wokeness!
