M&J, which stands for Mulkey and Jackson, opened three stores here in 1965-66 alone, including this Signal Mountain location along with stores in Brainerd Village and Highland Plaza in Hixson, according to newspaper archives. Instead of a supermarket and a dime store, today this property is occupied by a Regions Bank branch, Accents gift store, All Creatures Great and Small gift shop, the Southern Star take-out restaurant and El Metate Mexican restaurant.īut back in the day, it was a grocery shopping hub, home to the M&J Super Market, part of a former regional chain with stores across the Chattanooga area. None of the businesses in the old, black-and-white photo remain today. This photo was taken in March 1966, weeks after the ribbon cutting for Signal Mountain Plaza, 1210 Taft Highway. Today's residents of Signal Mountain might not recognize this particular cluster of retail stores in the Signal Plaza Shopping Center.
