History
.jpg)
The company was founded in 1960 by Jeg Coughlin Sr. in Columbus, Ohio.[1] The company began as a small operation supplying high-performance automotive parts to local customers. As demand for aftermarket performance parts increased, the business expanded beyond its original location into a larger retail and mail-order operation, and became involved in motorsports and sponsorship in NHRA events. In February 2022, JEGS was acquired by Greenbriar Equity Group, for a reported $421 million.[2]
