Man, what a cool freaking store! We stopped in here on our last day of our weekend trip to Des Moines and loved shopping around the store. We ended up with a a few Christmas presents (coozies, magnets) and grabbed one of their mystery bags! The mystery bag had two shirts, and some other fun goodies for a really great price. The store has a ton of shirts, stickers, magnets, coozies, stationary, and everything else you can think of. They have one of the bigger selections I've seen of specifically targeted merchandise: shirts for librarians, San Francisco 49ers fans, and even Kansas City stuff! The store has a ton of options for people of all backgrounds and is very inclusive. Such a great store, great message, and great company. Can't wait to come back!

This place is so so fun. Loved all their quirky shirts and souvenirs. This is a great spot to get a unique gift or decor for your home (especially if you live in Des Moines, lots of location-based stuff to show off your city pride). I especially enjoyed all the fun stickers they had, and adorable tote bags. They also have a cute vintage area upstairs that was cool to check out (but kinda expensive imo).

This store is like none I've ever seen before. It's filled with endless hilarity on tshirts, stickers, hats, etc. I love the support for women's issues and the LGTBQ community that they show here. I left with some amazing gifts that are completely unique!

The MOTHERSHIP of Raygun stores! They have graphic tees, stickers, coasters, pins, EVERYTHING! And the vast majority of it is all printed and designed by them! I was in typography heaven here! There is truly no end to Raygun's creativity and hilarity when it comes to their graphic designs and this store offered two whole floors of goodies to browse - with their second floor being more vintage clothing racks with Raygun graphics stamped onto them! I came away dropping a shockingly large amount of money, which will always be a hard pill to swallow, but feels less bad when it's towards an awesome company like this and when many of the items I purchased were gifts for other people! So I can confidently say that Raygun is a magical place that is PERFECT for finding gifts for a ton of people in your life! This Iowa-based company is absolutely delightful! Everything you find here is going to be unique and wonderful and this is just the exact kind of company I love supporting! They are so bold and out here with their products and if you've got any halfway decent sense of humor, you are sure to find a ton of goodies here to appreciate and purchase! This store encapsulates the Midwesterner state of mind perfectly and I just absolutely love it! My only request to Raygun is for some more representation of other states in the Midwest! As an Iowa-based company, I obviously see and understand the overwhelming majority of Iowa-related products, but I've also seen some Kansas and Ohio merch as well and at this Des Moines store, I did see as one row of Michigan-related products and as a Michigander, I would really love some more Michigan representation! Ope, as long as that's not too much to ask! :P Beyond highly recommend that EVERYONE check this store out and at every single one of their locations! You might accidentally spend a ton of hours and money here, but you'll be sure to have a ton of fun doing so!

Perfect place to get a good quality midwest t shirt. Friendly & helpful staff. It was difficult to relate to every phrase as a tourist. But the staff helped me pick some awsm merch with which i can enjoy iowa way better & even make some friends.

Wow! Home of free speech, I am all in! This shop, colocated with a coffee cafe, offers a wonderful selection of tee shirts. Located in the downtown area within sight of the Iowa State capital building you could only imagine the messaging that goes on at this location! Suggest that you stop in and check it out for yourself.

Such a cool place! Multiple sections with themed shirts, stickers, and other items. Everything from sports to teachers. Clever one liners. We enjoyed the visit.

If you like a store that is woke, this place is for you. Would be cool if politics and side taking were avoided. I like to shop where politics and statements are left out.

I love all the unique merchandise with local culture references! It’s always good for a laugh, and the shirts are cozy too! I plan on visiting on a semi regular basis (would more regularly if I wasn’t cheap and bought new shirts more regularly).

This is my second time here. First time, years ago, this place was a pretty cool quirky fun shop that had funny, cool, and interesting items to choose from. This time however, was a disappointment. This shop has became way to political and biased with some pretty disturbing and disgusting merchandise. Keep your politics and opinions to yourself. No one cares about your political agenda and your bizarre beliefs. I, (and others) come there for cool merchandise, not your political ideology. If we wanted your opinion, we'd stand outside and ask for it. Guaranteed, your sales would go back up if you'd keep that crap to yourself. It's unfortunate I didn't spend a dime in there and probably won't ever come back. The CEO of this place needs a reality check.

Found this brand on a visit to family in Iowa been a subscriber ever since. The current climate of hate in this county is awful. (I live in FL) Thank you Raygun for bringing the love to support all walks of life & bringing the extra hate to the forefront in a comedic way. It lessens the daily blow and the weight of the hate that is suffocating us. ❤️??

A very outspoken place to shop. If you're looking for a statement piece that you can wear, you'll certainly find it here.The products from this shop will let others know where you stand before ever having to say, "hi"

Raygun is my must stop shop whenever I am in Des Moines. A lot of the shirts I wear are from here and it's always a perfect place for shopping for gifts. Whether walking in knowing what you want or having no idea I always exit with something wonderful. Chill atmosphere and great staff.
