It's a publicly traded company, so no, this isn't private equity bleeding a corpse. They seem to be trying to modernize and broaden their appeal to get out of an extended post-covid slump. Per Wikipedia:

In May 2024, Cracker Barrel revealed that 16% of their customer base had not returned since 2020.

Say what you will, but those 84 people stayed because there's no better place for microwaved insults to Southern cuisine this side of the Walmart frozen dinners aisle.

I ate there once and the food was terrible. They should work on that.
