If you like punny, a little salty, and a whole lot of truth and empowered in your apparel and gifts this is your shop. The shopkeepers we're super friendly, welcoming and helpful but not pushy.
If you love shopping local, you have a few tongue-in-cheek gifts or t-shirts on your shopping list this store is a MUST.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 15, 2022
Ran in to find a last minute gift - we wanted a socially relevant, possibly snarky t-shirt. This was the place we should have checked out first and saved a lot of time!
So many choices and such a friendly, helpful staff!
We will be back!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 2685452080Jun 2, 2022
This store is awesome! Funky, fun, fresh gear for lots of different fandoms and social causes. The staff is super kind and funny! We had a blast and probably bought way too many stickers & shirts!

I love this store. I was back in KC visiting and this was on my short list to revisit. The items sold here are clever and funny. I walked out with a bunch of fun souvenir stickers. My BF had never been here before and he loved it. He bought great souvenirs and gifts for a friend. There's always something new and interesting at Raygun. We need one in Milwaukee.

I visited the original Raygun in downtown Des Moines many years ago, but finally just took a peak into the Crossroads KC location, although I have kept up with them on-line.
If you love Kansas City, the Midwest and have a progressive attitude toward culture and politics then Raygun is a store that will make you smile if not chuckle out loud a few times while browsing. Trump apologists, Orange County republicans, and Southern evangelicals, keep on moving...nothing to see here!
I am heading to an out of town birthday party and found some great gifts, including a few things in the close-out section in the back left corner of the store. I bought a Kansas City t-shirt, Kansas mug, a girl power deck of playing cards, and several hilarious and positive cards and stickers.
When the news of the day is getting you dreary, just peak into Raygun for a mental re-alignment.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 15510121289Jun 4, 2017Updated review
Raygun still has its crazy, upbeat and middle brow humor... still has has its wall of wacky tshirts... still has its wall of wild knick knacks like shot glasses, keychains, postcards, coozies, magnets and more, BUT, if you can believe it, Raygun is home to a baby and young kids section.
It's true.
As we all grow up some of us want to procreate and when this happens those new and young humans need clothes. Raygun has come to the rescue with a nice little line of onesies and tshirts so you and your tiny human can match. Or in my case, I can take my nephew to the mall, or where ever people people hang out now a days, and see if I can attract some attention.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Aug 11, 2015Previous reviewWho doesn't love a store with a humor?
Raygun is an Iowa-birthed turned Kansas City hot spot who is home to a plethora of mostly text-based, but trendy graphic t-shirts (and other things like magnet, mugs, coozies, postcards, etc...) that you're inner and younger cool kid would proudly wear to a family bbq.
I didn't even hide my chuckles as I went from shirt to shirt reading the catchy slogans. The shirts aren't afraid to push the envelope, but I will say they toe the line quite well. I don't have any, but if I did have teens then I wouldn't bother buying or seeing them wearing anything in the store.
And yes, I did just mention teens, but the shirts are made for all ages. As long as you're young at heart and keep a good sense of humor then you certainly won't look at out place.
Raygun definitely "fits" in with everything in Kansas City and I'm glad it's here. - Apr 2, 2018
Raygun has been on the beat selling quirky, fun, local tee's since before they were sold on every street corner. Originally out of Iowa, this Crossroads shop is definitely worth a visit into to snag a new shirt or pick out a gift.
They have more than shirts, but that's what I think of when Raygun comes to mind. Whether hipster, crude, funny, or some combo of all three, I've found their originality to be second to none.
Another cool, fun spot to check out if you're strolling through the Crossroads!Helpful 9Thanks 0Love this 9Oh no 0 - Jen D.Kansas City, MO126602136Nov 28, 2020
Raygun is such a wonderful part of shopping downtown. I love this store and always find something I can't live without, whether it's a sticker, magnet, candle or t-shirt. This is a great place to find items with sass, a little snark, and support local artists. This is a great place to purchase a gift for a friend, family or even yourself.

In search of fun? Giggles? Depressingly accurate political statements? On a tee shirt, beer koozie or sticker to boot? Then head to Raygun...home of the perfect gift for yourself or that special friend who may like or may love RBG or making fun of the fact that St. Joe still has no Quick Trip. Yep...I snagged that sale rack tee. Plan to spend some time here if you reallllllly wanna look around. Or just pop in for some irony, laughs and a great little trinket or two. Found the perfect gift for an Iowa cousin--a canvas bag declaring Heaven to Hy-Vee. Enjoy the fun!

This store is so great, tons of fun gifts, easy parking, lots and lots of terrific shirts and reasonable prices. I never regret stopping in here and only wish I got to do it more often!
