The original Spec's opened in 1962 by Carolynn and Carrol B. "Spec" Jackson, he wanted to do something to make enough money so Carolynn didn't have to work any longer. So, with only $7,000 dollars "Spec" opened his first store.

How did Spec's get it's name? Apparently, Carrol B. Jackson acquired that nickname due to being known to all by his glasses, his "spectacles".

Originally, Spec's started out just selling beer and liquor but over the years expanded their inventory to not only include fine foods but the finest wines. After years of expansion and growth, Spec's is now the fifth largest wine dealer in the United States.
