In West Nashville, a provocative billboard situated along Interstate 40 has caught the attention of passersby with its bold message: “Fire the CEO.” This display, which closely mimics a recently redesigned Cracker Barrel logo, aims to express dissatisfaction with the restaurant chain’s leadership.
The controversy stems from the company’s announcement of plans to modify its logo and remodel select restaurant locations. This announcement was met with significant backlash, both from the general public and notable figures, including former President Donald Trump. Following the uproar, Cracker Barrel decided to retract these changes, reverting to its original branding amidst heated discussions on social media and in various public forums.
As of now, WSMV4 has reached out to Cracker Barrel for a statement regarding the billboard but has not received a response at the time of publication. The situation continues to develop as the community grapples with the implications of the company’s branding decisions and leadership strategies.
