Cracker Barrel CEO steps down year after logo controversy

Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Masino will step down next month after a rebranding effort that removed the 'Old-Timer' logo and Southern-themed decor faced public backlash. She will be replaced by David Deno, former Bloomin’ Brands CEO, who will oversee the company’s return to its traditional branding. Shareholders had previously attempted to remove Masino, and she will receive $4.6 million in severance.
