To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Cracker Barrel created a small-scale "New York City-sized" Cracker Barrel store for the Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The 269 square foot Tiny Home Away from Home will be traveling from Tennessee to New York City, where people will be able to experience what makes visiting a Cracker Barrel store unique. The Tiny Home Away from Home is decked out with everything from a porch to rocking chairs to a replica fireplace and even a tiny retail store with exclusive finds that can only be purchased at Cracker Barrel.
Notably, the Cracker Barrel Tiny Home Away from Home is made with reclaimed wood from the first Cracker Barrel store that opened in 1969.
