No Cracker Barrel Restaurant in Salisbury

Cracker Barrel Website

Cracker Barrel will not be coming to Salisbury.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that there were rumors the restaurant was looking at setting up shop on the site of the old Zia’s Italian Grill in the parking lot of Gander Mountain on North Salisbury Boulevard.

During an appearance by a representative from Maryland Square LLC which owns the nine acre commercial lot before the city’s planning commission, the company said that it would like to add the 92-hundred to the Gander Mountain building and construct three new structures on the property.

Representative Don Hall said one of those was a prospective restaurant.

He declined to comment further but afterward said it was not going to be Cracker Barrel.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that Cracker Barrel said it did not discuss new locations until the shovel goes into the ground.

The nearest location is in Rehoboth.
