Peppers is not your average tourist  T-shirt and sweatshirt store on Main Street. With 34 years in the business and the only brick and mortar store in the country connected to the NavyGear.com website, Peppers carries quality athletic wear and accessories, many of which are licensed from the Naval Academy and the Marines.  Most shoppers are local Annapolis residents, graduates from the Naval Academy and their families, as well as tourists and sports fans.  Peppers also participates in community business events such as Midnight Madness, when stores are open until midnight for the first two weeks of December and March Madness.
