{"product_id":"jelleffs-car-coaster","title":"Jelleff's Car Coaster","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdd a reminder of Washington's retail past to your everyday drives with this Jelleff's car coaster. Founded in 1910 on F Street, N.W., the company grew from a downtown women's apparel store into a regional chain with locations in Virginia and Maryland. Its story includes the F Street Mall flagship, a first suburban store at Shirlington in 1947, and the chain's closing in 1979. For Jelleff's collectors and local history fans, this practical little keepsake makes each drive a connection to a notable D.C. business.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Frank R. Jelleff Co., commonly known as Jelleff's, was a Washington, D.C., retailer specializing in women's apparel. Frank R. Jelleff founded the company in March 1910 on F Street, N.W., in downtown Washington. Its flagship later stood at 1214–1220 F Street, in the F Street Mall, and closed in early 1973. The company remained family run until 1968, when a group headed by I. Lee Potter bought it from the founder's widow. Potter became chairman, and his father, Alan Potter, served as president. Jelleff's expanded beyond the city: its first suburban store opened at Shirlington Shopping Center in Virginia in December 1947. The chain also operated stores in Silver Spring, Falls Church, Springfield Mall, Tysons Corner Center, and on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, as well as the Little Shop in Bethesda from 1942 to 1969. A Crystal City Underground store opened in September 1976. As the chain closed in 1979, that location continued independently as Fifteen Thirty Five. The Tysons Corner store closed early that year, followed by Connecticut Avenue and Springfield Mall in May and Silver Spring in June. I. Lee Potter remained chairman until the company's closing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e2.6'' × 2.6\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.60\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.60\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eThickness, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e0.30\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Made from 100% soapstone — naturally absorbent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in 1, 2, or 4-piece sets with the same print on each\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- One-sided full-color print with a matte finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 2.6″ × 2.6″ size fits most vehicle drink holders; notch for easy removal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Removable “Made in China” sticker on the bottom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Gently wipe the dirt or dust off with a clean, dry microfiber cloth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"2.6'' × 2.6\" \/ 1pc","offer_id":54662370853148,"sku":"53352498696272449443","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.6'' × 2.6\" \/ 2pcs","offer_id":54662370885916,"sku":"31050009482787918826","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/2991590645112692542_2048.jpg?v=1791231771","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/jelleffs-car-coaster","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
