Student Research


At Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. ("Cracker Barrel"), we’re grateful to students who select our company for their research projects. We get so many daily requests for research assistance and general information that it's impossible for us to respond to every request.  But we do hope you'll find the following information helpful.

The best place to start is right here in our newsroom. It includes our company history, news releases, recent awards and fun facts. We have also provided answers to the frequently asked questions we receive. We believe the answers provide some insight into our philosophy, our business, our management style and our commitment to Pleasing People®.

Often we receive requests for infomation that we simply cannot share.  Here are some examples and the reasons why: 

Financial information
We do not share sales data regarding our individual stores. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. is publicly traded (NASDAQ: CBRL) and provides financial information through regularly scheduled news releases and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. You can access those earnings releases easily by visiting the Investor Relations portion of this website.

Proprietary Information:
The restaurant industry is very competitive and Cracker Barrel does not share the key ingredients that have helped build our business. Over the years we've made significant investments in our recipes, training manuals, vendor relationships and marketing strategies and they remain confidential.
 
Interviews
We receive interview requests every day from students and we simply don’t have the resources to address all of their questions. We hope this section will address the questions you have.
 
Again, thank you for considering Cracker Barrel for your research project. We hope you’ll find this section helpful.
