GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Make room for notes inspired by a memorable chapter of Southern retail with this Jitney Jungle Spiral Notebook. The company’s story began with a family grocery store in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1912. On April 19, 1919, the founders opened the first Jitney Jungle on East Capitol Street, building on their cash-and-carry approach. The chain grew through Mississippi and neighboring states before later corporate changes reshaped its stores. A thoughtful choice for journaling, everyday lists, or collecting stories about local businesses and familiar regional names.
Jitney 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 & 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.
