The Hut, located at 1489 Williamsbridge Road, opened 25 years ago initially as a music shop.

"We started off as a music store, so we've kind of like got the music culture, the hip-hop culture just in general here. Along with the sneaker store that we are now." said Victor Marquez, the store owner.
