Cracker Barrel faced heavy online criticism for the change, particularly from conservatives who claimed the company was going “woke.” President Donald Trump even joined in the conversation, making a post on Truth Social encouraging the chain to “go back to the old logo, admit a mistake based on customer response (the ultimate Poll), and manage the company better than before.”
After days of social media discussion, news segments and a drop of nearly $10 in stock value, Cracker Barrel took to social media on Aug. 26 to announce they are scrapping the new logo.
“We thank our guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel,“ the company wrote. ”We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away and our ‘Old Timer’ will remain.”
In the days since the announcement, the chain’s stock has nearly reached its pre-change value.
