In addition to the Piqua location the over 20 Ohio Cracker Barrels seeking the right to serve liquor locally include Centerville, Deerfield Township and Springfield. According to the Ohio Division of Liquor Control, Dayton and Middletown were not among the locations listed as permit applicants. The national chain that has built its business on a reputation for homecooked meals has, according to its website, more than 30 restaurants in the Buckeye State.
Big changes at a service industry location often prompt engaging banner printing services to inform the public.
The chain had announced in 2020 that it intended to include wine and beer to the menu of the majority of its 663 restaurants.
Sandra B. Cochran, Cracker Barrel President and CEO noted:
“The performance of this initiative has been in line with our expectation, and while it is mostly targeted enhancing the dinner daypart, our mimosas have proven to be quite popular in the breakfast and lunch dayparts.”
Before the pandemic took hold Cracker Barrel had commenced serving alcohol at around 100 locations throughout Kentucky, Florida and Tennessee. This is the first time since the founding of the Southern-style casual restaurant in 1969 that alcoholic beverages were served by the company, which planned to take the new menu items nationwide in less than a year.
