JRS Company Still Around?

  • 1.  JRS Company Still Around?

    Posted 03-16-2023 17:27

    I have been having trouble trying to reach JRS for several days via email and phone with no response.

    Someone I know just received an email from their email info email saying they cannot respond via email or phone and to contact other vendors????

    Anyone know what's up?

    From what I understand it's been an issue for the raw materials for quite sometime since COVID-19.They tried like the devil to hold out and hanging on by a literal thread. The person I spoke to at JRS said that unfortunately they will probably close permanently.

    Looks like many were getting the same email about the status of JRS. I have been buying from them since the 70's. Seems like when they made the move from California to Texas things kept going down from there. Certainly Covid did not help.

    We've received many inquiries over the past week or so regarding JRS.  We don't know anything more that anyone else, but we do have a very similar line to JRS with our Simply holders and frames

     Please feel free to visit our site at jpplus.com/simplyframes or give us a call at 800-869-7800.

    As a distributor we got the same information as retailers from JRS, that they are closed and custom orders and back-orders are unable to be filled. We do have some inventory available for several of the JRS stock items in our catalog and the similar Kota Pro products.  Check our website or give us a call and see if we can help out with what you're looking for.
