Cracker Barrel brings the country event to New York during the brand change controversy
Jeff Fox of Fox Business reports the change of Cracker Barrel brand, including the modifications of his logo and his interior makeover.
Cracker Barrel organized a pop-up event on Thursday in Manhattan which included online dance and live country music in the middle of the flame return for its new simplified logo design, which deleted the emblematic image of the uncle Herschel supported against a barrel.
The event “A Taste of Country, Anytime” took place in Gansevoort Plaza in the meat district, bringing comforting southern style dishes and an experience of hospitality to the Big Apple.
The event presented classic Cracker Barrel menu, rocking chairs, games, online dance and a performance by Country music singer Jordan Davis, who played in a new advertisement for the company. The closest barrel closest to New York is about 45 miles away in Mount Arlington, New Jersey.
The pop-up was part of the “All More” campaign of the company based in Tennessee, which also includes new menu offers in its restaurants and redesigns it largely examined from its logo.

The new design marks the first time in 48 years that the logo has only text. The Old Country Store opened its doors in 1969 with a text logo only before adding the emblematic image of the man seated against a barrel in 1977.
“Our values have not changed, and the heart and soul of Cracker Barrel have not changed,” said a company spokesperson in a press release at Fox Business. “And Uncle Herschel remains at the front and center of our restaurants and on our menu. It is the face of” The Herschel Way “, the foundation of the way our 70,000 employees provide the hospitality of the country for which we are known.”
“Cracker Barrel has been a destination for comfort and the community for more than half a century, and this fifth evolution of the brand logo, which works on digital platforms as well as display panels and road panels, is a reminder for the original and rooted even more in the emblematic form of the barrel and the brand of words that started in 1969”, continued the emblematic spokesperson.
As part of its “all the more” campaign, the company offers customers in the United States a classic free side with any purchase on August 23 and 24 at its nearly 660 national sites.
“We believe in the goodness of the hospitality of the countries, a spirit that has always defined us,” said Sarah Moore, director of Marketing by Cracker Barrel, in the announcement of the company. “Our story has not changed. Our values have not changed.” With “all the more”, we honor our heritage while bringing fresh energy, thoughtful crafts and sincere hospitality to our guests this fall. “

But criticism has been torn from the company since the announcement of the modernized logo on Tuesday, and its actions took a nose.
“There are no Cracker Barrel restaurants in Manhattan, so of course, this is where Cracker Barrel decided to show his brand change initiative,” wrote Sean Davis, CEO of the federalist. “”
Steak ‘n Shake suggested that Cracker Barrel and his CEO Julie Felss Masino abandoned the charm and identity of the south of the restaurant chain to which customers were used to, saying that sometimes “people want to change things just to put their own personality on things”.
“In CB, their objective is to completely remove the personality. Consequently, the elimination of” the old “from the signaling. Heritage is what has obtained Cracker Barrel as far, and now the CEO simply wants to solve everything,” wrote Steak N ‘Shake on X.
“At Steak N Shake, we are proud of our history, our families and American values. All are welcome. We will never market our past in a cheap effort to obtain the approval of trend seekers,” continued the chain of hamburgers.

The senator of Tennessee Gop, Marsha Blackburn, told Cracker Barrel “there is still time to do this right:” By writing later: “Make Cracker Barrel again!”
“We believe that the change of brand Cracker Barrel is so zero,” wrote the Democratic Party.
The new logo comes after the company updated the ancient sensation of the south of its interiors last year to a brighter and modern atmosphere, a brand change effort which also aroused customer criticism.
