Tenant Description
Cracker Barrel is one of the most popular casual dining restaurants and is a high demand net lease investment due to the successful concept.
It is uncommon to find a Cracker Barrel in the net lease market, because they do not franchise any of their restaurants. This creates unique factors surrounding these assets. The competition to purchase a Cracker Barrel is stiff for the few locations that come on to the market. All Cracker Barrel locations are corporate guaranteed, creating a higher demand and lower cap rates for these assets. Most Cracker Barrel net leases properties offer an investor long-term security and no management responsibilities. Their leases generally have rent increases with 5 year options.
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store opened back in 1969 in Lebanon, Tennessee and now has over 658 locations in 45 states. The restaurants serve up home-style country food. Cracker Barrel is a highly differentiated concept that's difficult to list in a particular casual dining category since they have the unique retail store that separates them from most other casual dining restaurants.
