Cracker Barrel CEO steps down a year after logo debacle
Cracker Barrel's CEO Julie Masino is stepping down next month after a rebranding effort led to customer backlash and declining sales. David Deno, former CEO of Bloomin' Brands, will replace Masino as CEO on August 10. The company's attempt to simplify its logo and modernize restaurants last August caused protests, sales to drop, and the changes were reversed, though sales continued to decline.
