Jumpys is a neighborhood restaurant famous for its jolting coffee. Named for its owner Jumpy Johnson, the restaurant specializes in a breakfast menu that has many loyal fans among the locals.

Jumpys is located in a region that holds a round of championship events at the same time every year. Johnson noticed that increased promotions during those events brought a tremendous influx of new customers to the advertisers.
