In 1960, Jeg Coughlin, Sr. opened JEGS High Performance at 751 East 11th Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. Jeg was a racer, and his business was birthed from the struggle that he had finding quality parts for his own hot rods. He quickly became the go-to guy for high performance parts in Central Ohio, and what began as simply building and tweaking engines for his buddies soon because a full-fledged retail business. In 1988, Jeg’s four sons, John, Troy, Mike, and Jeg Jr., purchased the business from their father and, after several expansions, what began as a 4,000 sq ft speed shop quickly grew to over 100,000 sq ft. In October 1999, JEGS opened a new 250,000 sq ft. state-of-the-art Corporate Headquarters, Distribution Center and Call Center in Delaware, Ohio while still maintaining the original retail location and a second call center in Columbus. Jeg Sr. wasn’t the only racer in the bunch. All four sons developed a love for the sport as have several of their own children. By 2015, the Coughlin Family had brought home 6 NHRA World Championships, 12 Divisional Championships and 107 NHRA national event victories making them one of the most successful families in NHRA history. Their personal involvement in the sport helps make JEGS a leader in the high performance world because many of the parts we sell have been “Track-Tested”, which is a vote of confidence for our customers. Our business continues to grow because of our unmatched customer care. Today we operate two call centers, the distribution center, the retail store, and the business also supports a race team (TEAM JEGS). The 350+ employees at JEGS still strongly believe and practice our simple business philosophy: Customer Care is #1.
