You won’t meet a more colorful and powerful duo than the ones behind the Jumpin Jackalope. Christa and Jonathan Jantz are partners in every sense of the word. The husband and wife team who created cupcake heaven Pinkitzel opened the unique Jumpin Jackalope in June of 2016.
With their collective artistic flair – she’s an interior designer, he’s a graphic artist – the “rustic yet posh southwestern” atmosphere tickles all the senses. Commitment to all things good is evident. Everything is well placed and draws you in … and since they offer more than a dozen varieties of beef, venison and buffalo jerky, as well as 48 bins of nuts, trail mixes, chocolates and dozens of choices of handmade fudge and truffles, you can’t get out of there without your mouth watering.
But hold on, because believe it or not, this place is not just about the food. Need a new throw? Check. A cute Oklahoma tee? Got that too. Candles, glasses, bags, cacti, throw pillows? Yes, yes and yes to all. The Jantzes’ goal is clear: “From the music, decor and atmosphere as a whole, to the employees who are happy and excited to provide an unforgettable experience – our ambition is to provide an amazing place for everyone to visit.” Check to that!
