The new location marks Cracker Barrel's fifth restaurant in Colorado, reinforcing the brand's commitment to delivering its signature experience to guests across the state. The new store has created more than 150 full- and part-time jobs, contributing to the local economy and providing employment opportunities for the Denver community.
"We are thrilled to bring our mission of Pleasing People, our high-quality, homestyle food, and our unique retail experience to Denver's Central Park neighborhood," said General Manager Liliana Martinez. "It is an honor to create a home-away-from-home for every guest who walks through our doors, and we are eager to serve our new neighbors in Central Park."
To commemorate its arrival and demonstrate its commitment to the local community, Cracker Barrel is making a $30,000 donation to Food Bank of the Rockies – the largest hunger-relief organization in the Rocky Mountain region. This contribution will support the Cracker Barrel Food for Families initiative to address food insecurity and support community needs through food and reducing food waste.
"Our mission is centered around igniting the power of community, and partners like Cracker Barrel are essential in making that a reality," said Food Bank of the Rockies President and CEO Erin Pulling. "Their generous contribution will help us to support our neighbors in need with 90,000 nourishing meals. We're deeply grateful for their commitment to moving our mission forward and ensuring individuals and families have access to the nutritious food they need to thrive."
The store will be open Sunday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. For added convenience, guests can also enjoy traditional in-store pickup, curbside pickup, and delivery options by ordering through the Cracker Barrel mobile app or at CrackerBarrel.com.
