Cracker Barrel suffered a $94 million loss in value after a rebrand sparked outrage among Donald Trump’s MAGA base.
The new logo, which removed the iconic seated man in overalls, was widely criticised by supporters as “woke” and “boring”.
The restaurant chain’s stock value fell by approximately 7.15 per cent in one day following the backlash.
Prominent MAGA figures, including Congressman Byron Donalds and Donald Trump Jr., publicly condemned the change, associating it with diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
Cracker Barrel defended its new design, stating it is more closely rooted to its original iconic barrel shape and word mark.
