In August 2025, Cracker BarrelrCOs CEO, Julie Felss Masino, sparked
outrage by changing the restaurant chainrCOs iconic logo.
The company, as part of an attempted $700 million rebrand, announced it
was replacing its 47-year-old logo, which featured the restaurantrCOs name next to a man sitting in a chair and leaning on a barrel.
The new, woke rebrand removed the man and the barrel, leaving just the
name. She also pushed for changing the eclectic interior, opting for
something cold and sterile, and then claimed the public just loved the
new logo and look.
Her decisions may have ultimately cost Masino her job.
On Monday, the company announced Masino is stepping down after less than
three years in the position and will be replaced by David Deno.
The outrage was so widespread, even President Trump weighed in. He
said, rCLCracker 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,rCY Trump wrote on Truth Social. rCLThey 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.rCY
Cracker BarrelrCOs co-founder Tommy Lowe was not impressed with the
changes and called the new logo rCLpitiful.rCY
Lowe sat down with Newschannel5rCOs Carrie Sharp and had some harsh words
for the woke CEO trying to destroy the business he founded.

Maybe Julie Masing, Dylan Mulvaney and Alissa Heinerscheid can open a
Tranny Barrel with Bud Light on tap?
