Is Cracker Barrel's brand redesign a "war crime"? 😭
Not The Bee ^ | August 20, 2025 | Wolfgang Ramsay

What do you think?

They got rid of the cracker barrel and the guy sitting in the rocking chair!!

The Blaze went as far as to ask if this is an actual war crime that assaults the very essence of decency:

As Not the Bee reported in 2024, there's a new young female CEO who thinks Cracker Barrel needs a facelift.

To the question of war crimes and other high misdemeanors, the comment section provided some perspective.

A few more moderate reactions:

What do you, the people, think?

The CEO who modernized the JC Penney brand would like to weigh on on how good this idea is, fortunately he has a lot of time on his hands since shareholders demanded he be fired a couple years later.

they are trying to move the demographic. I like it the way it is.

Can’t you see? The bars in the chair formed a “KKK”. [/S]

Well, they had to eliminate the old white guy with the rural vibe. /sarc But that looks like a regular chair, not a rocking chair.

The woman CEO got in trouble because she criticized the existing customers. She is trying to save herself by changing the branding. She doesn’t know the restaurant business but she has a vagina.

They could lose the old guy next to the cracker barrel - but the company is called 'CRACKER BARREL!'

Whoever does the purchasing for their gift shops does an excellent job. Special Kudos to that part of the company.

I wonder what sales/revenue is like at Cracker Barrel. If it's high she shouldn't mess with what's working.

But maybe I don't know what I'm talking about because I don't have a vagina and I can back a car.

Looks like they don't want to be known as an old, country store.

Sorry, but if your name is "Cracker Barrel" you are an old, country store.

Probably a lot cheaper to print. But they’re still too far away, and the food’s not that great.

I'm with you. This has become the New Coke of the restaurant world. The new design is sterile.

Not the “best pancakes in the world”.

McDonald’s leaves them a mile behind.
