It just appears to be something to outline the name.

Snopes says that some erroneously thought "Cracker Barrel" indicated a barrel of whips because a whip was also known in some places as a cracker, but Cracker Barrel actually comes from the literal barrel of crackers that were often found in country stores.

Maybe that's how the whip thing got started.
