About Cracker Barrel Old Country Store
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store runs a chain of combined restaurant and retail locations across the United States under its own name. Each site pairs a full-service dining room, open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with an attached gift shop, and customers can eat in, pick up orders, or have food delivered.
The gift shops sell a mix of decorative and practical goods, including rocking chairs, seasonal items, clothing, toys, cookware, and food products such as candies and preserves. In this way the company draws on two linked sources of revenue from the same visit, serving diners who often also shop before or after their meal.
The company was incorporated in 1969 and is headquartered in Lebanon, Tennessee. Its shares trade on the NASDAQ under the ticker CBRL.
