No victory lap until every CB piles the rainbow rocking chairs in the parking lot for a bonfire.

They should advertise “colored sections” in their restaurants just to frick with both sides.

LOL

What a fricking clown show. Had they done a proper focus group they could have saved themselves millions of dollars and hours of frustration.

CEO, Brand Chief, and Head of Marketing should all go.

2 days ago all the hate was apparently from “a vocal minority”. What happened?

Again, nothing but a PR stunt for media attention and 15 fricking threads about it. Ignore it, and ignore Cracker Barrel.

It's on the back bottom left of the menu.

Anywho- you know I'm talking about the Pride junk- Pride is a sex based, sex themed "thing".. which is something that really doesn't add to a dining experience, especially at a place like CB.

Woke idiots aren’t that intelligent. The wench wearing the Harry Caray glasses didn’t make this call to switch back.

LOL. Yeah conspiracy.

Any moron with one working brain cell knows that would be a bad move from a PR and financial standpoint. They just got a week of free publicity and now the group of low iq revolters think they just won a battle.

I'll be satisfied when they fix the food and service and not change the inside decor. They've cut off half of the cast on the arm and are still not fixing the broken leg.

While they've got people's attention, they should announce that they are going back to their old recipes and bringing back missing classic dishes.

They spent $700 million, lost $143 million in market cap, and alienated a large portion of their customer base that will never return. They didn't do that on a PR stunt.

It has nothing to do with any of that. It was a fricking PR stunt to get in the news and people talking about them, and of course we are all dumbshits and fall for it.


You think they spent millions of dollars to generate goodwill and end up where they started with their logo? All while pissing their core customers off? Just to then say "oh, well, we listened to you and see it's all better now." and the people will just accept that line of BS? No consideration given to the quality issues they were already experiencing? The brand damage they just foolishly self-inflicted on themselves because they get a do-over now? The money that they spent on dining room decorations? The money they spent on marketing materials that are now useless? You don't do a rebrand without the materials ready to go when you make the announcement. They messed this up big time and it wasn't for PR points. This was a miscalculation by people that don't know their customer base and have no reverence for a beloved brand and what it represented. Some products and their branding are timeless and don't need updating for a modern consumer. The brand logo speaks for itself and it represents something deeper and more meaningful to its customers. Cracker Barrel is one of those, as they've come to learn. It's something they should've known without ever making these changes first. Now they should focus in on their food. Get back to basics and maybe over time you can regain the trust of the public. Maybe.

Somewhere a graphic design/marketing firm is shitting themselves after hardselling Cracker Barrel on how good a refresh would be for likely a year or more
