Jolsons

Jolsons is a term that can refer to several entities, most notably a family and a former retail business. The Jolson family, a prominent theatrical dynasty in the early 20th century, included Al Jolson, a highly successful singer and actor known as "The World's Greatest Entertainer." His career spanned vaudeville, Broadway, and the burgeoning film industry, making him one of the most recognizable stars of his era. Other members of the Jolson family also had careers in entertainment.

Separately, Jolson's was a retail department store chain based in the United Kingdom. Founded in the late 19th century, it grew to become a significant presence in the British high street, offering a wide range of goods from clothing to household items. The company experienced periods of success and expansion but ultimately faced financial difficulties. In the early 21st century, Jolson's underwent significant restructuring and closure of many of its branches, marking the end of an era for the well-known retail brand. The specific context of "Jolsons" would determine which of these references is intended.
