The only remaining Cracker Barrel locations remains open in Medford in Southern Oregon.
The Cracker Barrel restaurant and retail chain announced Monday that it will be closing its only remaining Portland locations, three of the remaining four locations in Oregon, seven months after it closed its Jantzen Beach store.
This follows an announcement from Walmart that it was closing its Portland area locations due to a lack of profits but some speculated that the decision was the result of rampant shoplifting.
According to KGW, the employees at the Beaverton, Bend and Tualatin locations were informed Monday that the stores were closing, effective immediately.
The only remaining Cracker Barrel locations remains open in Medford in Southern Oregon.
Cracker Barrel said in a statement, “As a standard course of business, we continually evaluate the performance of our stores, using various criteria to ensure we are meeting the needs of our guests and our business.
