Jackson Jambalaya

That’s good and all but it’s in a awful location and It’s only a matter of time.

So true, 10:19, that Kroger next to it doesn't do any business....

@10:19 AM, to hell with you and your negativity. To this news I say BAM!

You sure are a “Debbie Downer” you can find the clouds in every silver lining....., Jeff

Yes, well...10:19 am, it's no surprise to see some can't ever welcome "good news" about Jackson.

Eastover and CCJ and Belhaven and Fondren aren't moving to the suburbs.

"Eastover and CCJ and Belhaven and Fondren aren't moving to the suburbs." Thank God for that.

I wish they would lower their tarot card prices. My cards will sometimes disintegrate during divination sessions with certain clients. I hate shopping online. I need to supply about 20 decks a week for my practice.

That Kroger does no business ?? It is packed everyday!!!

City of Jackson needs to protect The Canton Mart area. Canton Mart is the central business district of Northeast Jackson. Once that goes Jackson is will really hit rock bottom.

That's good to hear although my inner deal shopper is a little let down.

The leaders don't have a clue as to how to do that. Even if they want to and there is serious doubt they do.

The old Jerry Lake going out of business sale trick again.

11:33, that Kroger is two grocery stores in one; it's essentially a Piggly Wiggly and a Fresh Market (maybe a bit better) under the same roof. I know Madisonians who work in Jackson that shop there on the way home because the selection is so much better than what they can get at their stores.

" The old Jerry Lake going out of business sale trick again " .

Laughing too hard.

Although I vaguely remember that one, my favorite was a thunderstorm on High Street in 2007.
Jerry ran his flooded store ads until the 2008 Christmas season.

LOL !

I can say that !
Lake is a friend of mine.

He's a great showman, astute businessman, and seriously . . . a great guy !
I can honestly say I don't work on his ad campaigns, but I will say he is one of the fairest jewelry dealers anywhere within the Deep South.

402 - I think the comment was made tounge in cheek - maybe just a little bit of sarcasm exhibited here on JJ?

@ 7:06

"fairest jewelry dealer" is an oxymoron

I shop at that Kroger twice a week and it's packed. Why don't you nitwits look at the parking lot sometime? I bet that store does more in sales than either one in Madison.

@8:42 is probably right, but only because there's hardly any grocery stores left in jackson.

The Kroger has a much better selection than other Krogers in the area. The Kroger stays busy all the time but there are two other grocery stores within a half mile away: Whole Foods and Corner Market. Walmart isn't that far away either. The Kroger stays packed.

I absolutely love BAM, and this one was my favorite. I'm glad it's not closing.

If you want to see how NOT to do a going out of business sale, visit any of the 3 local Stein Marts. Ten per cent off is not a bargain, and they have managed to make what was a nice department store vibe into a discount store. I saw a lot of people this AM walking through, looking around and leaving empty handed.

@2:13

I couldn't agree more. They have had better sales for years. My wife and I went Sunday and didn't buy a thing. 10% off? Please
