The EV charger installations at Burleson, Arlington, DeSoto, and Mesquite are part of Cracker Barrel's commitment to providing travelers with a place to relax and recharge while on the road, dating back to the company's early days when Cracker Barrel provided both food for its guests and fuel for their cars. Now, charging stations allow electric vehicle owners to recharge their car batteries while enjoying a Cracker Barrel home-style meal in the restaurant or doing a little shopping in the retail store.
