Cracker Barrel Old Country Store
One of the best things about dining at Cracker Barrel is that you get to shop before or after you eat at the Old Country Store.
Find lots of unique trinkets and treasures, including home décor, candles, shirts, toys, candy and more. It’s perfect for anyone looking for fun, whimsical and out-of-the-ordinary items you just won’t find at any major retailer.
The one thing you won’t find are the outrageous prices you normally expect at a boutique. We personally were surprised at how reasonable the prices were on most everything. Now, we’re not saying anything is necessarily “cheap”, but it’s much more less than you’d expect.
You might consider stopping by to just shop because you’re sure to find lots of unique gifts for yourself or loved ones.
