While at the
rally, we did two tours arranged for by the rally hosting club. The first was a Redneck tour of Nashville by
bus. We did see a few places that we
have not visited before and it proved to be a very entertaining outing. Our self-proclaimed Redneck tour guide was hilarious
with constant redneck lore and insights on Nashville. During the tour he managed to grill every
passenger on the bus. It was truly one
of those things where you must have been there to get it. It was a fun outing.
The second tour
was completely different but very interesting also. One of the great things
about attending these rallies is having folks with local knowledge arrange for tours
you would likely not know about yourself.
This was one of those events. We
visited the warehouse that holds all the decorations that go into new Cracker
Barrel restaurants and updates or changes for existing restaurants. The small team of employees are responsible
for planning each location’s theme and all items that will go into the
layout. We had a great discussion with the daily operations
manager on how they find the items and how they plan the design for each
location. He made it sound like a fun
job.
The tour of
the materials in stock was amazing just for the sheer volume of items on
hand. This link has a very nice write-up
on the warehouse.

Now that Cracker barrel tour is one I would really enjoy. I've always wondered where in the world all that stuff comes from.
Oh my gosh .... I had no idea the Cracker Barrel warehouse was up in Nashville. We live just 150 miles south. Need to keep that in mind once Leonard has breathing under control and can walk more. Thanks for the info.
I'd have been able to stock up half of Cracker Barrel's warehouse with items from my basement when we retired, sold our house and hit the road FT. If only they'd have asked, they could have saved me a lot of work disposing of stuff. ;c)
That ware house is AMAZING!
Hard to believe all the junk in this world!!
