Cracker Barrel was founded in 1969 by Dan Evins, a sales representative for Shell Oil, who developed the restaurant and gift store concept initially as a plan to improve gasoline sales. These disused wooden barrels were where the farmers and men alike stood and used as a table or place to lean whilst in conversation with one another after along hard days work at the farm or factory.
