| Who is Jimmy? |
 |
|
Jimmy is actually Laura, and she's the one on the right. Laura, and her husband Doug, started Jimmy Beans in May 2002.
The nickname 'Jimmy' came from a song by a singer named Todd Snider called 'Doublewide Blues'. In the song, he talks about this neighbor Jimmy that's so cool because he's got a blue plastic pool on the deck in front of his house. We started saying 'cool like Jimmy' and that turned into her current nickname!
While trying to figure out a name for the store, her nickname came up and we added the 'Beans' since we originally had a coffee shop as well. Since then, the yarn has overrun the store and the coffee is gone, but the name sticks!

| Now you may be wondering, who are those fancy fellas that show up around the website...? |
|

First of all, they sure are fancy. They are our dogs named Wiley and Buddy. Wiley is a greyhound and german shepherd mix and he's on the left. Buddy is a border collie and bernese mountain dog mix and he's on the right.
