Coco's Chalky Paints

Coco's Chalky Paints was Hikia "Coco" Dixon's chalk paint shop in downtown Cleveland's 5th Street Arcades. She opened it in 2018 to sell her own chalk powder, which turns any paint into chalk paint, and showed it off on secondhand furniture she upcycled and painted herself. In 2020 she took over about 20,000 square feet of vacant arcade space, adding a plant shop, a furniture showroom, a 250-person event and workshop space, and low-cost private studios for Black and Brown business owners.

The business later grew into Coco's Selfie Space in the same arcade, which still sells Coco's Chalky Powder.
