{"product_id":"jitney-jungle-car-magnet","title":"Jitney Jungle Car Magnet","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCelebrate a familiar name from Mississippi shopping history with this Jitney Jungle car magnet. The company’s roots reach back to a grocery business founded in Jackson in 1912, followed by the first Jitney Jungle store on East Capitol Street in 1919. Its cash-and-carry approach and growth across neighboring states helped make the brand a regional landmark. This keepsake is a simple way for local-business fans and grocery-history collectors to show their appreciation for a distinctive chapter in Jackson’s story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJitney Jungle began with a grocery store founded in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1912 by brothers Judson McCarty Holman and William Henry Holman and their cousin William Bonner McCarty. After experimenting with a cash-and-carry approach, the founders opened the first Jitney Jungle on East Capitol Street in Jackson on April 19, 1919. They patented the concept in 1920 and successfully defended it in a lawsuit brought by Piggly Wiggly. The chain grew across Mississippi and neighboring states, eventually reaching Florida. In 1965, it joined Topco, a cooperative purchasing association. By 1973, the company had 38 grocery stores, six gasoline stations, and five drugstores; by 1992, it had more than 100 stores. Its convenience-store subsidiary, Jr. Food Mart, was formed in the 1960s. In the mid-1990s, the family sold Jitney Jungle to investment firm Bruckmann, Rosser, Sherrill \u0026amp; Co. The company’s 1997 acquisition of Delchamps contributed to its debt problems. Winn-Dixie acquired both chains in 2000 and rebranded the stores. In 2005, Winn-Dixie closed many locations, including most former Jitney Jungle stores in Mississippi.\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=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e7.5'' × 4.5''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e7.50\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e4.50\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- 100% vinyl face with matte finish for a muted, non-reflective look\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Black magnetic backing grips metal surfaces and removes cleanly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- All-weather durability—resists rain and sun exposure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in three sizes to fit vehicles, toolboxes, or merch displays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Printed with Digital-Direct Printing (DDP) for sharp, long-lasting color\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Wipe the dust off gently with a soft, dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"7.5'' × 4.5'' \/ Rectangle \/ 1 pc","offer_id":54674692604188,"sku":"18540065534229005904","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/12653888002421896201_2048.jpg?v=1791741553","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/jitney-jungle-car-magnet","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
