Cracker Barrel....the new Bud Light?

[Solid Snake]

It seems like some corporations just don't learn. First Target, then Bud Light, now Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel is making some changes to their restaurants, but its not as overtly woke as Bud Light, but its there. They rolled out a new logo where they removed the "cracker" and the barrel. Now the logo just looks soulless and corporate. The same thing with inside the restaurants, they're getting away from that down home country feel and making it bland and contemporary. Why would they do this? Cracker Barrel's CEO is a woke liberal women, who's probably never even eaten at a Cracker Barrel. She even comes complete with her Rachel Maddow eyeglasses. Again, they're not going overtly woke, but her decisions will destroy the company. The backlash is already there, stock price dropping.

Put a woke liberal woman who's never drank a Bud Light in charge of Bud Light. Bud Light tanks. Put a woke liberal woman in charge of the Star Wars franchise, Star Wars tanks. So let's try it again with Cracker Barrel.

These people are a cancer.

Go Woke, go Broke. Cracker Barrel will find that out the hard way.

"WTF is wrong with @CrackerBarrel??!" Donald Trump Jr. said in response to a post on X that implied the logo may be motivated by diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

Why did Cracker Barrel change logo? Why rebrand draws backlash

Yup thats all over the news the comments and it ain't good for old Cracker Barrel.. "D.E.I." They just won't learn nobody wants it cept a few libs, homos and minorities and they ain't gonna support the place. Goodbye Cracker Barrel..

My question is.... are Cracker Barrel restaurants owned by individual franchisees (like McDonald's)? Or are they all corporately owned?

If they are individual franchises, do the owners have to bow down and go with the woke bullshit?

The last two times I went to Cracker Barrel the food was unimpressive. Not bad, but nothing special either. I mean, the biscuits and gravy weren't any better than those pillsbury pop-open cans of ready to bake biscuits and a pre-packaged packet of gravy. I think that's exactly what they gave me to be honest. The stupid store out front was just overpriced crap you can buy on temu. Basically I didn't see what the point of going there was? If I go out to eat they need to offer a service or product I don't already have in my own home.

I am not sure of Cracker Barrel Snake but Mickey Ds. and most of the franchises are having to be bought by corporations either small or large. I read their bought in lots of a half dozen or the skies the limit. A Mickey Ds franchise you may own the building but you do NOT own the land its on. That is where McDonalds makes their $$ they don't care about no stinking burgers.. They are one of the top 3 real estate holding companies in the world.
Every frigging thing you buy for your franchise you buy from the corporation from napkins to toilet paper. $$

You see a Greek diner Gimpy stop and eat. I guarantee the Greeks don't serve bad food.

I must admit, I don't think I've ever eaten at a Cracker Barrel. Maybe when I was a child, I remember eating a place where they had the golf tee on the wooden triangle game, but that was decades ago.

Somebody like Jewbag George Soros is sending their paid minions to deliberately destroy every corporation in the US

It's not the sign, though that's what everyone is focusing on. The corporate office and CEO are and have been catering to the queer crowd, woke BS, and DEI crap to improve their corporate liberal score.

Nothing like catering to a small fringe group and telling the majority of their customer base to suck it up.

Those owning shares in that shit show can expect pennies on the dollar now.

Bud Light 2.0

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Retvet I read where the homos and the left wing loonies really do have a score with corporations as to how much they cater to their whims. Homos, libs, BLM, WHO, and minorities who keep crying and screaming for recognition and FREE govt. sheet still have some people listening to Dem?
They still don't get it. The more they scream cry and demand the more it turns people off. Why don't they just STFU...

I don't care about re-branding, new decor, or different signage. For me, it's all about the food, and the Cracker Barrel food ain't that great. It's just OK.

Go woke, go broke.
