Online carnival barkers/professional grievance stokers are making a huge hissy fit.

Frankly, I am almost certain that the consultants who changed the logo did it on purpose to pick up the outraged eyeballs. All news is good news. [/quote]

That’s a pretty dramatic change.

A lot of Cracker Barrel customers look like the guy on the logo. Cracker Barrel is basically telling them “this place isn’t for you anymore”. [/quote]

Literally nobody looks like that guy, and if you do look like that guy you're some kind of southern museum cosplay actor, or about to drop dead from extreme old age.

My FIL looks pretty much exactly like that. So does every other old guy in Indian Mound, SC. White, black, they all look like that guy.

You should get out more.  The DC bubble is making you look uninformed. [/quote]

We go to Cracker Barrel on road trips, and from the people out front enjoying the rocking chairs to the customers inside, they all more or less resemble the old guy on the logo - and that goes for the white AND black people (and everyone in between) who frequent CB.  This CEO truly does not know her market.  Or more plausibly, she doesn't care.

Realistically, boomers are at the age where they are departing this mortal coil.  If that is the vast majority of their customer base, they would be wise to shift a bit if necessary.  I (Gen X) think the new logo is boring and the new decor is boring, but I am just as likely (not very) to stop in or a road trip as I ever was.  Perhaps slightly less so as my thoughts on it are limited to thinking of how much my grandma liked to stop in when my mom was taking her down south to visit family.  If I were to stop in, it would be partially to see what she saw.[/quote]

The place could use a refresh, calling it CB-Zone or something like that might update the overall feel. CB's Place is not a bad new name either, but doesn't add the modern angle.[/quote]
