This Couple Has Visited Nearly Every Single Cracker Barrel In The Country

Talk about some serious dedication.

Ray and Wilma Yoder, an 80-year-old couple out of Goshen, Indiana, have made it their life’s mission to visit every single one of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store’s 645 locations in the United States. They are now just one location away from completing this daunting task, with the final location remaining being in Tualatin, Oregon.

Ray Yoder’s Cracker Barrel habit began in the 1960s, where he would regularly stop at the their restaurants while working as an RV driver traveling across the country. Wilma often accompanied him on these trips, and eventually the two decided that because they had been to so many already, they would try to visit every single Cracker Barrel in the nation.

As a result, the Yoders have become Cracker Barrel celebrities, being treated like VIPs whenever they stop at restaurants for their meatloaf and blueberry pancakes. They’re also often invited to ribbon-cutting ceremonies for new locations, and plan to continue to visit new ones as they open after they cross the final location off their list.

No word if they’ve seen Brad’s wife at any Cracker Barrel recently, however.
