Closed? NO. Re-branded and then a retreat. Sounds like New Coke to me.
US restaurant chain Cracker Barrel scraps new logo after backlash
US restaurant chain Cracker Barrel has abandoned plans to adopt a new logo following fierce backlash.
"We thank our guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel. We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away and our 'Old Timer' will remain," the company said in a social media post.
Cracker Barrel received criticism after it unveiled a modern version of its logo which scrapped the "Old Timer" figure.

and, financially:
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is forecast to reach $3.6 billion in revenue and $86.3 million in earnings by 2028. This outlook assumes a 0.8% annual decline in revenue, while earnings are expected to increase by $28.5 million from the current $57.8 million.

Trump says Cracker Barrel should return to old logo
WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump has jumped into the Cracker Barrel controversy, advising the restaurant chain to go back to its old sign following a MAGA backlash to the company's rebrand.
Trump's foray into the Cracker Barrell debate comes after Republican lawmakers have roundly criticized the Tennessee-based restaurant for ditching its longtime logo ‒ featuring a man in overalls seated next to a wooden barrel ‒ for a simpler, more modern look that contains only the restauraunt's name.
"Cracker Barrel should go back to the old logo, admit a mistake based on customer response (the ultimate Poll), and manage the company better than ever before," Trump said in an Aug. 26 post on Truth Social.

For the record, I have not been to one in some 3 years or so. Great food, though; their cheesy hashbrown casserole is AWESOME, and so is their bacon from or which tastes like Ham.
and so is:For a traditional Southern breakfast, try Uncle Herschels Favorite. Includes your choice of protein and Fried Apples or Hashbrown Casserole.

Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2025 10:08 amWhy does the President care about a food chain's logo? I'm really puzzled. Trump Jr started it, but I can't for the life of me see why he cared either.
