The only thing I have ever eaten at Cracker Barrel is Mommas French toast. Wife and I are more of Eggs Up people now

I've never had anything but their breakfasts. Loved them. Ate it for supper there a few times. The last time I went there a few years ago, it seemed pre-made and sloppy. Haven't been back, but it never was a first choice stop much anyway

I love Peyton, but is there anything he won't sell?

I can't believe you said that. Think about what he sells and try and tell me that you wouldn't too. It's not anything close to a guy you said, "is a great President". How many times you said the same thing about Trump, even after he was hawking Bibles with his F'ing signature.

Oh it was not a criticism, just an observation. I don't GAS what any celebrity or president hawks. I don't buy ANYTHING (that I can think of) based on an endorsement. If I need something I buy it. Period.

Ok, not that anyone asked but this is my wheel house.

I watched a legacy sister brand of my company, larger than CB, be sold off bc of massive declining traffic and sales. Where we messed up was we never refreshed the brand. Never figured out how to connect with younger demographics as older core customers were dying off/spending less due to being in a fixed income post retirement. The restaurant was my grandparents favorite. They took me there as a kid. As an adult, it was the exact same. The brand became old and stale.

CB is in a bit of a similar situation. They've just screwed the pooch on this. They needed to win back old consumers first. New CEO should have spent money running add after add about committing back to what made them which was FRESHLY made southern favorites. And puting plans in place to do just that. Then approach the brand image. Where I'd attack the brand image is I would add some booths, they have none, adjust lighting down, and a music refresh. I'm not talking about Taylor Swift. The leadership team had a problem on its hands. They needed to do something. Investors were demanding it. They screwed the pooch by essentially making it seem as they were trying to
Piss off the remainder of their loyal base. Can they recover? We shall see. Ruby Tuesday’s, Red Lobster, O’Charlies, Bennigans etc etc never did

I think the fact that this thread has 167 (now 168 I guess) posts since Thurs is a perfect demonstration of where our priorities lie in relation to where they should. With all the strife and problems domestically and abroad, Cracker Barrel’s logo takes center stage. Not the advent of A.I. replacing the workforce and how we’ll deal with that massive shift in our society, or massive healthcare system woes, or rampant corruption in our political system… but Cracker Barrel’s logo, look out.

Y’all are easily distracted.

What a sanctimonious bunch of BS. "Our priorities" on a sports message board are sure as hell completely irrelevant in the grand scheme. This (and especially this forum) is a way to pass time and chat or argue with people we don't even know. There are threads on aliens, beer, Netflix, Darwin Awards, and we even have Florida and other rival posters.

Pull the stick out of your ass.
