Grab your coffee—Cracker Barrel tried to swap out its country charm for a modern vibe, but regulars weren’t having it. The redesign (think less kitsch, more sleek, plus beer and wine) left loyal fans feeling like their favorite roadside stop had lost its soul. The backlash was so strong, the CEO says she was basically ‘fired by America.’ Lesson: When a brand is built on nostalgia, even small changes can hit people right in the comfort zone—and in the wallet. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #CrackerBarrel
