Holler & Dash

Cracker Barrel is launching a new restaurant chain called Holler & Dash.

The first location is opening in March in Homewood, Alabama, and its menu will revolve around one main ingredient: biscuits.

Unlike Cracker Barrel, where most customers dine in, Holler & Dash will offer a fast-casual setting like Chipotle and Panera, where customers can order food at a counter and choose to either dine in or take their food to go.

Cracker Barrel CEO Sandy Cochran says the concept was developed to reach urban customers.

"With its biscuit-inspired menu that pays tribute to the South in an innovative and modern way, Holler & Dash was created to extend our reach into urban [areas] and attract new audiences," Cracker Barrel CEO Sandy Cochran said Tuesday on a conference call with analysts.

Holler & DashCracker Barrel has hired chefs Jason McConnell and Brandon Frohne to develop the Holler & Dash menu, according to The Tennessean.

The menu will offer all kinds of biscuit sandwiches and treats, such as a "chicken holler" sandwich with fried chicken, pickles, and cheese, and a "jam" biscuit with chocolate and jelly.

The chain, which includes 635 restaurants in 42 states, reported a revenue increase of 1.1% to $764 million in the most recent quarter.

Same-store restaurant sales increased 0.6% for the period and same-store retail sales increased 2.6%.

Cracker Barrel hasn't released many details on its new brand yet.
