This article was originally published  by The Epoch Times: Cracker Barrel Ditches New Remodels as It Rebuilds Customer Approval

In a striking pivot, Cracker Barrel has opted to halt all restaurant remodeling efforts, responding to a wave of public discontent regarding its attempts to update its long-standing image. This decision was formally shared on September 9, 2023.

“You’ve shared your voices in recent weeks not just on our logo, but also on our restaurants,” the company communicated in a social media post. “Today, we’re suspending our remodels. If your restaurant hasn’t been remodeled, you don’t need to worry; it won’t be.”

This fresh decision follows a public backlash against the proposed redesign of Cracker Barrel’s logo, which resulted in substantial criticism, including from high-profile figures such as former President Donald Trump. Loyal patrons expressed disappointment when the familiar image of a grandfatherly figure leaned against a barrel was replaced with plain text.

The planned $700 million overhaul involved stripping away the beloved Americana antiques that adorned restaurants nationwide, leaving critics agog at the stark, modern decor that lacked the charm that once defined the Cracker Barrel experience.

“We heard clearly that the modern remodel design does not reflect what you love about Cracker Barrel,” the company acknowledged. “We had tested this design in only four out of 660 locations, and we won’t continue with it.” This transparent admission underscores a critical lesson in brand loyalty and customer feedback amidst corporate rebranding efforts.

Cracker Barrel now intends to reinvest in what customers cherished most: the classic Americana ambiance complete with rocking chairs, warm fireplaces, games, and unique gifts that have become synonymous with the restaurant chain.

“We want you to have a warm, welcoming space for friends and family to gather and enjoy our craveable food and country hospitality,” the company expressed. With a workforce of about 70,000, they are steering attention back to their kitchens and the quality of food served.

New CEO Julie Feiss Masino, who has previous experience with Taco Bell and Starbucks, highlighted in May 2024 the urgent need for modernization to revitalize customer interest as the chain was perceived as losing relevance. The initial plans included not just aesthetic changes but also an overhaul of the dinner menu and optimization of kitchen operations.

Despite the initial intentions to remodel up to 30 stores, the anticipated public outcry rendered such aspirations moot. Masino voiced during an investor call that while Cracker Barrel had historically made limited design alterations, they may have misjudged the timelessness of their brand in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

The uproar began last month with Masino’s introduction of the “new logo,” which notably omitted the iconic barrel and leaning man. While the company initially received mixed reviews—which included claims of customer approval—the backlash was palpable, signaling a misalignment with core customer sentiments.
