Back in August 2025, as part of a broader turnaround plan, the chain modernized its logo by removing its signature “old timer” character, Uncle Hershel, and rustic barrel.After about a week of intense customer backlash, the chain reverted to the original logo and suspended its further modernization plans, saying in…
