It's a publicly traded company, so no, this isn't private equity bleeding a corpse. They seem to be trying to modernize and broaden their appeal to get out of an extended post-covid slump. Per Wikipedia:

In May 2024, Cracker Barrel revealed that 16% of their customer base had not returned since 2020.
