History
Mike started RAYGUN in college when his last hope of having a respectable life was extinguished. After selling t-shirts on the street, the store opened in downtown Des Moines in 2005 to moderate fanfare. RAYGUN Iowa city opened in 2010, followed by Kansas City in 2012, Cedar Rapids in 2016, and Chicago in 2019. We're now all filthy rich but show up for work anyway. The company's goals remain unchanged: create stuff that makes people laugh, save America from 10,000 years of darkness, and find a way to get out of this t-shirt thing and into something more meaningful like pharmaceuticals or petroleum.
