In 1949 Jim Taylor bought a building in Arizona on Route 66. On the move here he had a statue of a black rabbit in the back of a convertible car. Along the way people kept saying they liked it & took lots of pics of it. So when he got here he put it in the ground so people could sit on it & take pics. That was how the Jack Rabbit Trading Post was born. That rabbit eventually became the model for the "HERE IT IS" sign & the famous mileage signs that you have heard about. Jim Taylor owned the store but leased it much of the time he had it.
​
Glenn Blansett leases it in 1961 & bought it in 1967. In 1969 his son Phil & daughter-in-law Pat bought the business. Their daughter & son-in-law Cindy & Tony Jaquez, who still own and operate, bought the store in 1995.​​

Tony IS a hard worker. This old business takes a lot of work to stay up & going. The signs are constantly needing to be taken care of. Our weather wreaks havoc on those . A never-ending job. We both are big givers. We always donate to people who are in need of raising funds for medical or local schools & fire depts & other local causes. Whether it be a financial donation or a food donation we believe in giving back to our community.  Making all of us stronger.
