Cracker Barrel has suspended all restaurant remodels in the wake of public criticism over the company’s efforts to modernize its image, officials announced Sept. 9.

“You’ve shared your voices in recent weeks not just on our logo, but also on our restaurants,” the company said in an announcement posted on social media. “Today, we’re suspending our remodels. If your restaurant hasn’t been remodeled, you don’t need to worry, it won’t be.”
