  • SNIPES is expanding its global branch network from 450 to more than 600 stores.
  • Closing is scheduled for this year.

The sports and street fashion retailer SNIPES, headquartered in Cologne, is significantly expanding its presence in the USA and takes control of the American sports shoe chain Jimmy Jazz. The signing was confirmed today and the acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The acquisition will triple the number of SNIPES stores in the United States: the store network there will grow from more than 100 to nearly 270.

SNIPES is a retailer of athletic footwear and streetwear with more than 450 stores in Europe and the United States. An omnichannel company deeply rooted in hip-hop culture and a community-focused approach based on supporting, promoting and celebrating street culture.

Jimmy Jazz is headquartered in Secaucus, New Jersey, operates approximately 170 stores in the United States and is primarily located on the East Coast, Southeast and Midwest. The acquisition enables SNIPES to develop new territories. SNIPES plans to preserve the legacy of Jimmy Jazz.

“Despite the pandemic, SNIPES continues to grow. Through our ‘community first’ approach, we put the consumer at the center of everything we do. This will continue to be the focus of our partnership with Jimmy Jazz. We are very pleased about Sven Voth, CEO and Founder of SNIPES,” said Sven Voth, CEO and Founder of SNIPES.

“With SNIPES, we have acquired a strong global partner that shares our passion and will appropriately continue our legacy and investments in our teams and stores,” said Jimmy Khezrie, owner of Jimmy Jazz.

As a result of expansion, the global network of SNIPES branches has grown from about 450 to more than 600 stores. The parties agreed not to disclose the terms of the deal.
