Logo Reversal Strategy

Today, following customer backlash, Cracker Barrel announced its new logo “is going away” while the traditional “Old Timer” character will remain. The company stated on X: “We said we would listen, and we have.”

We thank our guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel. We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away and our "Old Timer" will remain.

The restaurant chain initially defended the rebrand but reversed course after conservative criticism, including comments from Donald Trump Jr. questioning the company’s direction under CEO Julie Felss Masino.

Board Member Under Scrutiny

Conservative activist Robby Starbuck targeted Board Director Gilbert Davila, CEO of DMI Consulting, a diversity and inclusion firm since 2010. Davila joined Cracker Barrel’s board in July 2020, sparking questions about the company’s strategic direction.

Earnings Impact Ahead

The country dining chain, known for Southern hospitality, is expected to report fourth-quarter results in September. Analysts will likely probe traffic impacts from the controversy and potential boycotts. The company showed 1.0% comparable store growth in the third quarter, marking four consecutive quarters of positive growth, while beating earnings per share estimates but missing revenue forecasts.

Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that CBRL has a Momentum score of 79.15. Here is how the stock fares on other parameters.
