Plenty of us would do the job for a million donate a year, and much better than she is. They should have started by picking someone who actually understood (and was a customer of) the brand, not just blindly picking someone because they help to achieve some DEI goal.


Her whole attitude reeks of condescension for those who frequent Cracker Barrel.

They should start giving out annual “Bud Light” awards to companies that have large marketing blunders like this.


These companies are run by people who do not use the product and loathe the people who do. They are brainstorming about how to make the brand attractive to the type of people they would socialize with. If they destroy the brand in the process, oh well...there's always a golden parachute and a new C-suite job handed to them on a platter.


100% this.

They’d be better off just creating a different company.

Not really concerned about what a business chooses to do. I personally am waiting for the Government run feeding stations so all might eat

It's not woke, but I do think utterly boring and bland.




+1. And stripped of its Tennessee, old-timey country feel--its roots--in exchange for a generic look that the CEO breezily promotes in her interviews.

Bingo! They want everyone erased but the old white cracker.

CB-Zone sounds like it’s meant to appeal to truckers, although most millenials probably haven’t ever heard of CB radios. Are they even still used by truckers?

Of the two new names under consideration, "CB's Place" may be a better option than CB-Zone, especially now that they dropped the pride flag from the letter P.

Well, then. Enjoy your meals there. I bet their CEO never eats there. She's clueless.
