Wow Cracker Barrel is taking in the shorts....

August of 2025 seem's kinda late to the game for the woke agenda changes, but say that your going to make changes only not to do it in the end sure got them a lot of free press and more name recognition. How many people that have never been there will go now to try them ?
And i'm with the group that thinks there food sucks.
 
It was great publicity, but the mere fact they went woke then flipped i will NOT be stopping by for some vittles.
From what I've seen, they are just Not changing the logo...they are still going full steam ahead with changing it into a modern Denny's. Menu changes, interior changes....but keeping the logo....You can't fix liberalism it's a mental disorder...they can't help themselves.

It actually makes perfect sense. First off CB is not a destination eatery. It is off the side of the highway and usually more rural, you know what to expect, you know what they serve. That should be in what most would consider Trump country, except their numbers were going down. So to increase numbers they went for the 47% that are Anti Trump instead of the ones who they thought would of continued to stop at their Restuarant on the way to and from. The real issue is the number of people loading up the mini van and driving 8-10 hours to go see Cousin Eddie are not doing it and if they are stopping for a meal at CB is not in the budget.

New logo old logo they do need to make a change to get people to stop for a meal on the way to go see family.
 
I'm not going to lie, I didn't expect them to turnaround on this and figured that they were totally committed to brand suicide. I take it as a really really good sign, not just for Cracker Barrel, but for the end of woke bullshit altogether... some corporations aren't feeling constrained and cuffed to diversity equity and inclusion any longer and that's a good thing.

How'd that work our for Target's CEO ?

IMO, CB is having real problems due to changing consumer behavior (see also Hometown Buffet) and switching their logo back is not going to help them. Hopefully Waffle House is still going strong . .
 
We are past AI now.. any news if they fired that CEO or not?

Not yet.
This whole woke + cheap-o + de-theming plan has been phasing-in for over a year now.

They cheapened the food and cheapened the preparation of the food, skipped local sourcing that they were renown for,, and are hiding behind the logo change hoping that's all that makes the news.

I'm a Waffle House fan, absofuckinlutelly love that place, B.I.L. is a ,, or was a,, Cracker Barrel fan, a super customer and he noticed the quality drop a little over a year ago and gave the place up.
They won't change back.
 
IHOP just brought back $5 all you can eat pancakes... Life's too short, enjoy a full stack.
I'll try that. Used to love a stack of the the Red Velvet.

Problem with the IHOPS out here is the service. There is none.
LHC IHOP food quality backed into hell over night and that bad news hit the forums,, they really suffered.
Dunno if they awakened and reset it.
I still have a rough time feeling good about spending $30 on a basic breakfast.

It's a stretch theory of mine but like when Sears/Kmart went bankrupt it really looked like a planned-all-along, sell-and-pocket-the-assets of the carcass kinda dealio.

Harley Davidson may be doing that now as is Cracker Barrel.
Set it all up for failure, then the court liquidates, sells and a puppet third party pockets the assets.

Those running it all don't need to huddle and make a plan,, all involved are hep to how it rolls and falls out and is divided up.

Lower priced businesses are getting hit hardest...we are not poor, but not rich either....with the costs of everything, we just can't afford to go out and spend $100 on dinner every other night....Went to Olive Garden with mom the other night.....servers were like deer in headlights....there were little kids running ALL over the place and NOBODY said a word....will NEVER go back there. Food was so so. brought us like one serving of salad to start...um there are 3 of us?

Well waffle house strikes back!


 
Just saw where Cracker Barrel stopped using the Supplier of the little peg game they have in all the restaurants. Who had been supplying the game to them from day one to a Chinese firm. Putting the company out of business overnight.
