Following his passion for all things fast, Jeg Coughlin Sr. opened JEGS High Performance Speed Shop in 1960 as a way to bring the latest and greatest racing parts to his somewhat sheltered hometown of Columbus, Ohio. As racing gear poured in from the coasts, JEGS quickly became known as "the" place for area racers. Forty-five years later, Jeg Sr helped his four sons, John, Troy, Mike and Jeg Jr., purchase the operation outright with his assistance and it quickly became the undisputed king of high performance mail order parts. From a tiny speed shop to a 225,000 square-foot distribution center and headquarters, with three retail stores and multiple call centers, JEGS now employees more than 360 associates but still manages to give each customer the personal touch that made the company what it is today.
