October 1st marks our 3rd Anniversary and we're celebrating by having a SALE! (which we never do). Oct 1-15th 25-50% of selected items, in store only. Drop in!
We were born out of a desire and need to bring back the general store shopping experience, offering a curated menu of independent local brands and specialty goods. We have a vested interest in sustainability and community. Jackson’s is a ‘Catch-all for Cool’.
why we're loved!
Our Buildings History
Our building has a remarkable past!
Y. Franks Parts & Service was located here for over 40 years, owned by Don Lethbridge. If you'd ever been to his store you'd know he was very unique and an avid collector of sorts. We believe he acquired the Y. Franks name from a generational relative of Zebulon Franks, who was a brilliant, well-educated Turkish immigrant, regarded as the first leader of the Jewish Orthodox community here in Vancouver. It was said that he held services in his home and general store (626 Seymour St.), first called “Y. Franks” then Y. Franks Appliances, and later located on Water Street as early as 1907. It is believed the name Y. Franks came from Yetta Fanks, Zebulon's second wife. Zebulon had 6 children.
Here's a pic of the early General Store downtown Vancouver with Zeb & the gang!
We're excited to keep the General Store buzz alive!
We've only got one shot.
If you ever think about the infinitesimal chance that we were given life, that we are alive - thriving and enduring, we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to create something special, come together. My goal is to make something unique and magical; to offer my friends & customers the best I have and the best I can get. I want to leave a legacy of community, giving, meaningful partnerships and enduring success. Love, MJ
