Mixed reviews over Cracker Barrel logo, CEO says feedback has been 'overwhelmingly positive'
Good Morning America ^ | August 21, 2025 | Kelly McCarthy

Posted on 08/22/2025 3:42:51 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Cracker Barrel has made its way into the internet zeitgeist as the hybrid restaurant and country store has been rolling out its redesigned interiors and new logo to mixed reviews, but its CEO told "Good Morning America" this week that the feedback so far has been "overwhelmingly positive."

"People like what we're doing," Julie Felss Masino told "GMA" on Tuesday, in response to the shift to more modern country touches. "Cracker Barrel needs to feel like the Cracker Barrel for today and for tomorrow -- the things that you love are still there. We need people to choose us, and we want people to choose us."

Masino added that at a recent on-site meeting with managers in Florida, the "No. 1 question I got asked was, 'How can I get a remodel, when can I get a remodel, and how do I get on the list?'"

"The buzz is so good, not only from our customers, but from our team," she said.

Masino also announced the company's new campaign on Tuesday, dubbed "All the More," which she said "highlights how people feel about Cracker Barrel."

"It is bigger than just a meal. We have a retail shop, you're gonna get great country hospitality with our scratch-made food in our restaurants, and that's really what the campaign celebrates," she explained.

Mixed reviews - bad and awful. Of course company wrecking Lib would go on GMA. They are the scumbags who said the Sydney Sweeny ad was a racist push Eugenucs

Positive feedback from her corporate peers, no doubt. From customers, not so much.

I have a female boss. She’s a great manager. Really is. That being said, women disproportionately tend to be absolutely horrible CEO’s.

Is the cracker barrel ceo from the same class as the woke budlight campaign genius/ dumb ass?

Because she sounds like the same brainlink-- " overwhelming positive replies".

What? Did 6 of her staff "YELP" How much they love the new cracker barrel?

Even though you and I know, cracker barrel execs have never actually eaten at a cracker barrel, and they hate us " common, dirty, middle class, inbred, dolts" who actually do eat there ...

Most of the stock holders are big American financial investment firms....most notably Blackrock, and Vanguard.
CB had a marketing deal with Smithfield foods( Chinese owned).but was blocked by Kraft lawsuit...
FYI.
CEO overseeing her own firing. Huge investor firms don’t like to see their property go down in value. My noninsider prediction...she will be gone if stocks continue to drop....or there is no stabilization of stock value and full recovery.

I suspect you’re right. All the people telling her “Great move” are not likely ever to spend their money there.

Of course she went on GMA. They are the leftist scum who claimed the Sydney Sweeny ad was a racist push for Eugenics.

“People like what we’re doing,”

Sure, Jan. That’s why the stock price is cratering.

I agree. It’s Christian persecution.

They target any corporation which supports Christian values and make it a focus for their subversion and destruction. Disney, Scouts, etc.

The CEO is living in an echo chamber, and has no access to the outside world.

I want Uncle Herschel back. He is the guy sitting in the chair, you know.

Yes. They are not good reasons and the consequences are horrible in the long term, but any well versed conservative can discuss them.

There is very little reasoning there, mostly invective.

I am a southerner. However, I don’t go to a CB store/eatery at all. There are several in our area, along I-20. I have been there twice that I can remember. On a church mission 15 or 20 years ago, we stopped at a couple on the way to West Virginia and on our return. That was about it. The food was good, the service was good, and the people were nice. Going to a CB is just not a destination for us. However, as for the sign change, I think it is normal political crap of the Marxist Dimocratic mindset.

I’m not important, but I’ve heard NO ONE who says they think this is a good idea.
