The restaurant chain Cracker Barrel said Tuesday that it will remove its new logo and keep the 'Old Timer', assuring to have listened to its customers after the outrage expressed on social networks by many users and even the president himself Donald Trump, who accused the company of going 'woke' and changing its values. "We thank your guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel. We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away and our ‘Old Timer’ will remain," the country-style restaurant chain said in a statement sent to FOX Business, and eventually posted on its official X account.

A few hours before the company's statement, Trump had lambasted the company on his social network for the decision to change its logo, assuring that "Cracker Barrel should go back to the old logo, admit a mistake based on customer response (the ultimate Poll), and manage the company better than ever before. They got a Billion Dollars worth of free publicity if they play their cards right. Very tricky to do, but a great opportunity. Have a major News Conference today. Make Cracker Barrel a WINNER again. Remember, in just a short period of time I made the United States of America the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. One year ago, it was “DEAD.” Good luck!".
A controversial change
In the face of the numerous criticisms received via social media, the restaurant chain tried to calm all the controversy on Monday, publicly admitting that "we could’ve done a better job sharing who we are and who we’ll always be," and assuring that its values had not changed.
