Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

National chain pairing an American comfort-food restaurant with an old-country retail store, founded in 1969 by Dan Evins in Lebanon, Tennessee.

The St. George location follows the same pattern on Convention Center Drive near the freeway, serving scratch-made breakfast all day alongside Southern lunch and dinner classics, with a gift shop of candy, toys and country goods at the front.

The wider picture

Dan Evins built the first store in 1969 as a bet on the new interstate system: a filling station that would also feed travelers and sell them something on the way out. The format — restaurant in front, retail at the door, rocking chairs on the porch — has barely changed since. Serving breakfast through the whole trading day was unusual when the chain adopted it and has since become one of its defining features. The Convention Center Drive position puts the St. George store on the same interstate logic the original was built for.
