Cracker Barrel Redesign.

[Moonglow]

And so does a lot of people's own cooking.
Their food is reliably acceptable. It is the same every time you go, everywhere you are.
McDonald's sucks ass. They have the worst hamburgers of almost every chain. But they are extremely successful. Cheap "acceptable" food. Over and over and over.
And like it or not - this is the culture of America. Mediocrity.

I don't patronize the American culture either.

Except The Simpsons?

Pre Covid Waitress of the 1990s-2000s

Except The Simpsons?

That is Matt's culture.

 

[rightwinger]

Wow. Even rw. can see that the ceo is a moron.


Their business will crater. And it should.

WHy should good people give their money to people that clearly hate US?

The CEO is jumping without a net

She looks at her customer base and sees a bunch of 50-80 year olds and rednecks.

She is willing to Chuck them and assume 20-30 year olds will embrace the sterile atmosphere and generic food and fill the void.

Cracker Barrel is a laughingstock. The old logo was great, and there was no reason to change it.

Oh my.
I live in the PNW, and visit Cracker Barrel when traveling....along with the "Waffle House"
These two are not in the PNW.

There is one in CDA, ID, one in Boise there used to be several in Oregon but they pulled out. They were going to build one in Spokane and had land in 2018 and were going through planning stages and Covid it, that ended that.

I like their food, and we’d go to CDA to eat there at times.

What is really good is Bob Evans.

 

[Mr Natural]

I’m surprised they left the word “Cracker” in place.

 

[22lcidw]

That seems right. They definately have blurred their identity.

The fact that you describe them as “boomer bikes” says it all.

Go to a Mickee Dees in a rural area and a Mickee Dees in a ghetto you will notice a difference in the law of probabilities. And this is just on percentages as to not demean one area or another.

What the young CEO had envisioned.........

Reality.........

I like their scrambled eggs on toast.

And their gift shop.

My wife loves the gift shop, I love seeing the candy that I ate when I was a kid.

The burlap checkerboard is cool, I bought one for my den.

How many iconic brands try to reinvent themselves to only fail miserably does it take before CEO's like this stop doing it??
Coca Cola with "New Coke" - historically one of the single largest corporate blunders in world history.
Brands like these are a part of Americana. There is history to them. People go there because they know EXACTLY what to expect. That is why they go there.
To reinvent it to become a bland -sterile dining room with the single most boring logo they could think of - is not going to go well for them.

I personally don't know if this has anything to do with WOKE.
But it has a LOT to do with being selfishly stupid by a CEO that has no idea what she is doing.

/----/ "How many iconic brands try to reinvent themselves to only fail miserably does it take before CEO's like this stop doing it??"
Because every woke CEO thinks he/she/it is smarter than the last woke CEO who failed.

All the memorabilia. I chatted with the sales lady about it. They have warehouses full of it.

This is what is driving this, not "woke."
Long term debt has risen every year since 2021. Cash has dramatically fallen. EBITDA has fallen every year since 2021.
