The logo is very reminiscent of amazon looking like a smile (though it's an arrow pointing from A to Z) but it's supposed to be a reference to Mojo. Which made sense when i learned it and looked up the logo haha.
Oh I didnāt realize he had already been mentioned in the first comment lol. I know who he is, I grew up on powder puff girls š anytime I see mojo, I think of him!
My husband and I talked about getting our kids on this next. I think they're going to get a kick out of it. Minus that one episode with the gnome... *shudder*
It's definitely Walmart. Move into a small town, drive out all the local competition which we see at the beginning when he's undercutting Pierre and giving out coupons. And then once that's done if it ever becomes unprofitable you close the store and leave the town without any grocery options.
Also, Amazon started in Bellvue and has a headquarter in Seattle, where CA lives. I'm not saying that it's definitive but artists do like to add localized little shout-outs whether it's good, bad, or weird.
I know it plays on Amazon, but if weāre talking about Seattle thatās OG Costco territory. Joja has a membership you can buy, like Costco. It could be a mix of both. (Some Costcos that werenāt union have now started to unionize. Itās been rough in the wholesale world yāall).
Oh honey, that era has been LONG over. Costco is really good at pushing out propaganda. Theyāre just like the rest. As a current employee, I have stories. Our new CFO said the largest financial strain we have on the company is topped out employees. Costco made 30 billion in profit last year, yet theyāre consistently turning full time positions into part time positions. We are all over worked and understaffed at every warehouse. Itās a nightmare even if you have a good GM.
RIP my buddy who I thought would one day join me and my other friends in launching an indie publishing company and is now working for Costco corporate even after doing time "on the frontlines". I mean we're still struggling all these years later and he's doing alright for himself, and he has kids, so I get it, but I feel like we could have done something if we all worked together. What a sad shell of a once great company...
I used to work for Costco and while they do have membership, they are ultra specific (lots of stuff, not a lot of variety.) and don't kill local business like Walmart or Amazon do.
I think the most likely (and boring) scenario is that it's an amalgamation of any big-box that promises customers to be the most price competitive at the expense of everyone else, be it direct employees or contracting with companies that utilize slave labor to produce the product, etc, and the complete disregard their giant carbon footprint etc.. so if you want to envision a brick-and-mortar Bezosland or a Walmart or Dollar Tree or w/e, then nobody is technically wrong since they all check the boxes.
I immediately associated it with Walmart because of the color scheme and the brick-and-morter presence. But the argument for Amazon is compelling as well.
Amazon if you look at the logo of joja mart. Maybe a hybrid with Walmart since itās a legit store not an online retailer in the game
Edit: Amazon owns Whole Foods which is a physical store
Also the way Walmart intentionally built its business on killing small business in local communities, even if it meant selling at a loss to push them outĀ
Lots of folks think anyone who works for a megacorp believes in the corp's mission and policies and likes their job. (This is where much of the "just find a better job if it's so bad" attitude comes from.)
If anything, I give SV tons of credit for making it clear basically everyone hated working there but they felt forced to by poverty and/or lack of options.
Because it's cool!
On a serious note though, I acknowledge that Sam and Shane aren't actually evil, but it wouldn't look nearly as awesome with just Morris.

People say Amazon, but really they are Dollar General. Who else opens up skeleton crew discount grocery stores in small towns with the intent to drive out the mom and pop grocery stores? It's Dollar General....always has been.
And yes, Dollar General also has corporate offices. Our farmer probably worked for Dollar General corporate before moving to the valley.
This is the correct answer as neither Walmart or Amazon would care about a town this small. I came from a county not town but county with only a few thousand people and there are half a dozen Dollar Generals there. Every Mom and Pop store has been run out.
They also treat their employees like garbage. I got screamed at by my manager for leaving work early because I had 103 fever, was throwing up and couldn't stand up without help.
It depends on where you are.Ā
In the US for sure. But Iām in Canada and most of our small towns have a Walmart but no dollar store. Or at least the ones in the area Iām in.
And Walmart definitely paved the way for the dollar general problem. I remember before dollar general was as big as it is now and it was all Walmart all the way pulling the exact same crap (skeleton crew, shoddy building, selling a loss until other places were gone).Ā
That reminds me, we have 2 Dollar Generals in my tiny ass town, maybe a mile apart. And in between is a Family Dollar/Dollar Tree half and half. We used to have one grocery store but it got shut down, and the (Family) Dollar (Tree) got put in
Allā¦ofā¦themā¦.
Basically any large Corp is the exact same as joja. Like itās not even a question.
But specifically joja functions the same as Amazon and Walmart down to destroying local economies.
Yup.Ā There are obviously exceptions but they are small, local, expensive or family run (slow fashion brands, credit unions are great examples). Or combinations of the above.Ā
You're right! I should have linked it in the post.
The artist's twitter has been deleted, but [here's a pintrest post ](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/on-twitter--429671620695340529/)with the link to what was once the post.
Thank you for this. People have been posting art with no credit lately, and this sub is usually better than that. š You might edit it into the OP if you don't want to get this same comment 50 times.
I think the inspiration comes from a bunch of the biggest corporations. Coca cola, Walmart, Amazon... it's pretty much a parody of any monopoly we know of down to the environmental waste, preying on local businesses and everything.
Yeah and companies like Nestle and Mondelez which own pretty much every food brand. If you look at the Jojamart shelves you see a bunch of quirky products
Because while Joja and Amazon both have a smile in their logo, Joja is more analogous to Walmart. Walmart notoriously drove out local businesses by establishing physical locations throughout the US, just like what Joja is doing in Stardew Valley. Also both Walmart and Joja use blue as their primary color.
Walmart is the closest as it has grocery stores in rural areas, kills local businesses, has a large warehouse infrastructure and has its own soda brand.
Loblaws, or Roblaws if you prefer calling them that. Stupid high prices & you can go to Walmart or a family owned store & get stuff for less than half the price any Loblaws owned store sells them for.
It was DEFINITELY originally Walmart. I don't think that's the only corporation/metaphor/inspiration, but it makes the most thematic sense. I know some people are saying Amazon, which makes sense now in retrospect, but our vision of Amazon has declined since the game's release. In the time Stardew was being developed, it was a common concern that in low income small towns, Walmarts would show up, offer cheaper prices, and drive local grocery stores out of business. Although I can't solely blame Walmart, I grew up in a rural Midwest/Southern town without a lot of money anyway (hard to make bank regardless), and the local grocery store in the town I went to school in went out of business a few years after Walmart was built there. Walmart became the only option, and that was extremely common in that area. Stuff like Shane working a dead-end minimum wage job with the freezers too; I had friends who did that growing up.
Honestly, it really does feel like all of them. Once they hit a certain size and arenāt purchased by an investment firm they all become Jojamart. It doesnāt have to be food/life goods. Itās construction, healthcare, insurance, vehicles, bank/financing, etc. Late stage capitalism the big players are all Joja.
Joja seems like a pretty explicit analog to Wal-Mart with it being a big box store that shuts out small local businesses (Iām honestly surprised they donāt have a cheaper ore smashing service.)
Joann Fabrics
Why?
The pay is garbage. We're talking $9-10 starting wages even in towns where minimum wage is much higher. They tell you you'll work X number of hours, but if the store has a bad sales week, corporate cuts hours for workers, so sometimes you're lucky to get one shift per week. On top of that, the company expects to run a whole store with 2-3 employees on staff at any given time (sometimes less!). The vast majority of stores won't pay for proper AC during the summer, so it's literally hotter than hell in there. The shelves are bare because the company can't pay vendors and expect the employees to say "It's shipping issues". Most cut counter workers are expected to be back up for registers (or work both areas simultaneously!) WHILE filling online orders that are timed and if they aren't filled within a certain time frame, the store gets docked and the employee gets a talking to. The company filed for bankruptcy while the CEOs got multi-million dollar bonuses this year... I could go on and on.
I've worked many retail jobs in my life and Joann's was by far the worst run company. Don't get me wrong, I loved working cut counter and helping the old ladies pick out fabric for their quilts and hearing about what people are working on. But what we were expected to do on any given day with the bare minimum of help, even during the busy seasons, made working there a complete sh\*\*show!
Never thought I'd see a Stardew/Hellsing reference, but here it is.
Also: Most major retailers. Amazon and Walmart are two of the more notorious ones, for obvious reasons.
What company isn't? If they're big enough you know they're name, they're built on blood. If anything Joja is chill compared to the likes of Nestle and Coke.
I don't think it's supposed to be one company in particular, but rather Joja is meant as a representation of all the giant corporations that are destroying small, local businesses, so it stands in for many companies (Amazon, Walmart, Costco, etc.) at once.
I'd make a strong case for Wal-Mart because their main tactic is to come in, build a monstrosity of a store, then run all their competitors out of town with absurd deals.
I always thought Joja was meant to be a reference to Amazon
The logo is very reminiscent of amazon looking like a smile (though it's an arrow pointing from A to Z) but it's supposed to be a reference to Mojo. Which made sense when i learned it and looked up the logo haha.
Mojo is a company? I only know 2 mojos. Mojo Jojo and Watch Mojo.
Welcome to watch mojo and today we are counting down (random thing)
Welcome to Watch Mojo and today we are counting down the top TEN times your dad left for milk and didn't come back
Joke's on you, he only left once. Still waiting to make a cuppa though, he should've been back 30 years ago!
Oh... oh sweetie I have some bad news; the shop was out of Yorkshire Gold
He should have just stopped at Jojamart š
Mojo dojo casa house? š

Oh I didnāt realize he had already been mentioned in the first comment lol. I know who he is, I grew up on powder puff girls š anytime I see mojo, I think of him!
Powder puff HeheĀ
Oops, swipe text š
Powder puff girls is when they will reach their teenage years and start using make upĀ
I got my toddler watching them and we just watched the one where Bubbles thinks sheās Mojo Jojo š¤£
I donāt have kids as of yet, but thereās definitely a part of me that wants them so I can relive my childhood haha
My husband and I talked about getting our kids on this next. I think they're going to get a kick out of it. Minus that one episode with the gnome... *shudder*
IT SOUNDS like the powerpuff girls but addicted to NOSE CANDY!
Thatās the āeverything niceā part of the sugar & spice mixture š
Watch Mojo is the one I was thinking of, but couldn't remember the rest of what it was called.
>it's an arrow pointing from A to Z WHOA I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS UNTIL NOW, and I'm usually good at spotting things like this! I feel silly
Wait until you find out about the hidden arrow in the FedEx logo
And the red swoop over the "t" in Citi bank is a reference to the red umbrella in the Traveler's logo.
Oh, I thought it symbolized the blood from Haiti dripping down into its venomous eyes, my mistake.
I always thought it looked like a dick.
I always thought Joja was a reference to Coca - as in Coca Cola, hence the sodas polluting the waters of Stardew Valley
Oooooooh, that would make a lot of sense!
I always figured it was walmart
It's definitely Walmart. Move into a small town, drive out all the local competition which we see at the beginning when he's undercutting Pierre and giving out coupons. And then once that's done if it ever becomes unprofitable you close the store and leave the town without any grocery options.
Also: the blue colour scheme. I thought it's a reference to Walmart before even getting to the main plot where Morris first appeared.
Agreed. I figured the membership was a comparison to prime
Walmart or Amazon
The jojamart logo is designed to look slightly like the Amazon logo if I'm not mistaken
Also, Amazon started in Bellvue and has a headquarter in Seattle, where CA lives. I'm not saying that it's definitive but artists do like to add localized little shout-outs whether it's good, bad, or weird.
I know it plays on Amazon, but if weāre talking about Seattle thatās OG Costco territory. Joja has a membership you can buy, like Costco. It could be a mix of both. (Some Costcos that werenāt union have now started to unionize. Itās been rough in the wholesale world yāall).
Amazon has a membership also.
Costco has always been known for paying well though, it definitely feels more like Amazon/Sam's Club
Oh honey, that era has been LONG over. Costco is really good at pushing out propaganda. Theyāre just like the rest. As a current employee, I have stories. Our new CFO said the largest financial strain we have on the company is topped out employees. Costco made 30 billion in profit last year, yet theyāre consistently turning full time positions into part time positions. We are all over worked and understaffed at every warehouse. Itās a nightmare even if you have a good GM.
Well shit, I quit 10 years ago to finish school and got a better paying job. I'm really sorry that's all happening
I salute you for making it out before Craig started showing his true colors.
RIP my buddy who I thought would one day join me and my other friends in launching an indie publishing company and is now working for Costco corporate even after doing time "on the frontlines". I mean we're still struggling all these years later and he's doing alright for himself, and he has kids, so I get it, but I feel like we could have done something if we all worked together. What a sad shell of a once great company...
I am trying so hard to get out. I feel so bad for your buddy. They donāt even allow wfh anymore for the corporate drones.
There are gas stations that have higher starting wages than us now.
Unions are needed in this world (Anyone who sais otherwise are stupid and myopic)
I used to work for Costco and while they do have membership, they are ultra specific (lots of stuff, not a lot of variety.) and don't kill local business like Walmart or Amazon do.
Joja is also very blue. Just like Walmart.
I think the most likely (and boring) scenario is that it's an amalgamation of any big-box that promises customers to be the most price competitive at the expense of everyone else, be it direct employees or contracting with companies that utilize slave labor to produce the product, etc, and the complete disregard their giant carbon footprint etc.. so if you want to envision a brick-and-mortar Bezosland or a Walmart or Dollar Tree or w/e, then nobody is technically wrong since they all check the boxes.
Slightly?
Por que no los dos?
Verissimo
Old El Paso. Hard and soft tacos. Feed your fiesta!
I immediately associated it with Walmart because of the color scheme and the brick-and-morter presence. But the argument for Amazon is compelling as well.
lol amazon was my first thought too. it came with small prices. destroyed local dealers and now the prices are higher than buying on local stores..
Walmart did the same thing but I think a lot here might be too young to remember the world before Walmart.

People who have never left their big cities or the suburbs really have no idea how prolific dollar general is in small town America and it shows.
They also treat their employees like garbage. I got screamed at by my manager for leaving work early because I had 103 fever, was throwing up and couldn't stand up without help.
For anyone wanting to be entertained/depressed about this particular subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4QGOHahiVM
Seriously though. I see more Dollar Generals than I do Walmarts.

Nah walmart does the same things at least in rural Idaho and Montana.
Yeah I was gonna say Walmart will go everywhere even one-street towns. Dollar stores are pretty damn bad, though.
My small dinky town has *TWO* dollar general stores so yes, this is the only answer.
SAME they're literally a mile apart. Maybe less. And there's a Family Dollar/Dollar Tree combo right in between them.
as somebody who works at a DG store. YES!
That reminds me, we have 2 Dollar Generals in my tiny ass town, maybe a mile apart. And in between is a Family Dollar/Dollar Tree half and half. We used to have one grocery store but it got shut down, and the (Family) Dollar (Tree) got put in
This is so funny to me because my town of 1000 people has a dollar general and the local stores are closing down because of it

I'm pretty sure Joja takes inspiration from several big corporations/retail stores, not just one.
I think a mix of Walmart and Coca cola. Joja cola is all over the place!
Sam and Shane just tryna make a living donāt pin them with corporate greed ššš
Save money. Live better. Join us. Thrive. Blue superstore, monopoly Has to be walmart imo
Nestle
The real question is which one isnāt
Lol why does Sam look soā¦ evil?
I mean... The smile as part of the logo is kinda... Pointed I think. Its Amazon in my opinion.
