Since its humble beginnings as Jimmy's Army Navy store in 1920, Jimmy's Hip-Hop has come a long way. With seven locations throughout Connecticut, including this one on Dixwell Avenue, Jimmy's Hip-Hop has everything from the latest styles of sneakers to street and skate clothing. In addition to offering trendy apparel for the whole family, the civic-minded Jimmy's has been a proud sponsor of New Haven County's Black Expo and the Freddie Fixer Parade for years. Bestowed the "Community Merchant Award," Jimmy's also sponsors scholarships and various youth events in the community.
