Jack Rabbit Trading Post
Joseph City, AZ
A 1949 Route 66 trading post where road-trip souvenirs, clothing, candy, salsa, games, signs, seasonings, novelties, and a giant rideable jackrabbit sit beneath the famous 'HERE IT IS' identity.
Jack Rabbit Trading Post turns a small Route 66 retail stop into one of Arizona's classic roadside experiences, mixing food, apparel, novelties, books, games, signs, collectibles, and decades of rabbit branding around an enormous photo-op jackrabbit.
Field notes
Why it belongs
Trading post, food stop, apparel shop, Route 66 bookstore, novelty store, collectible shop, and roadside attraction.
The merchandise alone is quirky; the reason it clears the OddStops bar is the complete physical experience built around the giant rabbit, billboards, historic trading-post building, and 'HERE IT IS' identity.
Operating along Route 66 since 1949, Jack Rabbit Trading Post remains one of Arizona's best-known roadside stores. Current shelves include Route 66 merchandise, clothing, books and maps, games, signs, candy, salsa, seasonings, jewelry, patches, magnets, and novelties. Outside, the giant jackrabbit and famous 'HERE IT IS' imagery turn the store into a destination even for travelers who do not intend to buy anything.
