The saga over Cracker Barrel’s logo change rumbles on, with the MAGA movement now creating its own predictable answer to the problem. The company sent conservatives into a tailspin after it announced it was simplifying its long-held logo by dropping an image of an old-timer leaning against a wooden barrel.

Following the logo reveal and backlash, Cracker Barrel stock dropped 7.2% on August 21, 2025. This amounted to a $94 million loss in market value before partially rebounding later that day. Analysts cautioned that both the controversy and the high $700 million rebrand cost contributed to investor uncertainty, not just political outrage.
