The Company disclaims any obligation to update disclosed information on trends or targets other than in its periodic filings under Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Third-Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2006 Sales Outlook

The Company noted that, as previously disclosed, certain capital structure and other potential initiatives intended to enhance shareholder value currently under consideration could affect the Company's earnings outlook. As a result, no further earnings guidance is expected to be issued before completion of the review of these potential initiatives.

The Company did provide its outlook for revenue and comparable store sales for the third fiscal quarter, which ends on April 28, 2006, assuming no effects related to the initiative review. Because of adverse winter weather in February, the Company expects February revenues to be lower than its full-quarter outlook. The Company currently anticipates:

--Total revenue approximately 3% to 5% above the third quarter last year including the effects of the unit closings,

--Comparable store restaurant sales at Cracker Barrel for the third quarter between down 1% to up 1% versus prior year,

--Comparable store retail sales declines between 6% and 9%,

--Comparable restaurant sales at Logan's for the third quarter up between 2% and 4% over prior year,

--Opening six new Cracker Barrel stores and four new Logan's company-operated restaurants and one new Logan's franchised location during the quarter.

The Company also updated its outlook for revenue and comparable store sales for the full 2006 fiscal year, assuming no effects related to the initiative review. The Company currently expects:

--Total revenue approximately 3% to 5% above fiscal 2005 including the effects of the unit closings,

--Comparable store restaurant sales at Cracker Barrel for the full year between down 1% to up 1% versus prior year,

--Comparable store retail sales declines between 8% and 10%,

--Comparable restaurant sales at Logan's for the full year up between 2% and 4% over prior year,

--Opening 21 new Cracker Barrel stores, 20 to 22 new Logan's company-operated restaurants and two new Logan's franchised locations during the year.

Commenting on the sales outlook, Woodhouse said, "While there continues to be a high degree of uncertainty in our outlook for revenues, especially retail, we are encouraged that second quarter revenues were higher than our previous expectations. From our vantage point, there has been no sustained change as yet in consumer spending Consumer demand or consumption is also known as personal consumption expenditure.
