Cracker Barrel unveiled a modern text-only logo to attract younger diners but faced intense backlash for abandoning its rustic heritage, sparking social media outrage and a stock plunge. The company swiftly reverted to the iconic "Old Timer" design after listening to customers. This reversal underscores the risks of misjudging brand loyalty in polarized markets.
Cracker Barrel's 2024 rebranding, led by CEO Julie Felss Masino, ignored investor Sardar Biglari's warnings of alienating core customers with a modern logo and $700M remodels. The move sparked backlash, boycotts, and a 15% stock plunge, erasing $100M in value. This highlights risks of disregarding tradition for innovation.
