{"product_id":"rax-roast-beef-ceramic-coaster","title":"Rax Roast Beef Ceramic Coaster","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet down your drink beside a story that spans decades of restaurant history. This Rax Roast Beef ceramic coaster recalls the chain’s Ohio roots, beginning as JAX in Springfield in 1967 and becoming Rax in 1977 before growing into a familiar multistate name. It brings a little fast-food nostalgia to a desk, coffee table, or home bar while celebrating the signs, menus, and memories collectors still seek out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRax Roast Beef began in Springfield, Ohio, in 1967 as JAX Roast Beef, founded by Jack Roschman. General Foods bought the chain in 1969, renamed it RIX Roast Beef, and closed most locations in 1972. Restaurant Administration Corporation, led by J. Patrick Ross, acquired the remaining 10 franchised units and restored the JAX name. The business adopted the Rax name in 1977, when its first Rax-branded franchise opened in Columbus, Ohio. Renamed Rax Restaurants Inc. in 1982, the chain grew past 221 restaurants in 25 states and reached 504 locations in 38 states during the 1980s. After menu and format changes, a 1991 management buyout, and a 1992 bankruptcy, the company merged with Franchise Enterprises Inc. in 1994 as Heartland Food Systems. It returned to the Rax Restaurants name in 1996. Cassady \u0026amp; Associates acquired the brand in 1997, and Rich Donohue purchased the Rax trademark in 2007. As of 2024, Rax was based in Ironton, Ohio, with six restaurants in Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCeramic coaster engraved with a simple, vintage-style wordmark that brings a quiet, archival charm to a coffee table or office desk. The cool ceramic top takes heat and condensation with calm confidence while the cork backing keeps cups steady and surfaces safe. It sits easily beside a well-loved mug during long work sessions or late-night reading, a small, steady surface that feels both practical and quietly nostalgic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Durable white ceramic surface resists heat and moisture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Non-slip cork backing prevents sliding and protects surfaces\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in round (4.06\") and square (3.94\") sizes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Easy to wipe clean — suitable for hot and cold drinks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Made in South Korea with ceramic and cork materials\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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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);\"\u003eRound\u003c\/span\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);\"\u003eSquare\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);\"\u003eHeight, 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);\"\u003e4.06\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);\"\u003e3.94\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);\"\u003eWidth, 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);\"\u003e4.06\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);\"\u003e3.94\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, 2 year warranty in EU and Northern Ireland as per Directive 1999\/44\/EC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarnings, Hazard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Made in South Korea, For adults\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gently wipe the dirt or dust off with a clean, dry microfiber cloth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"Round \/ One size","offer_id":54581561491740,"sku":"25459481362085808330","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/rax-roast-beef-ceramic-coaster","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
