Chicago, Illinois
The Chicago outpost sits on Clark Street in Andersonville, one of the city's most walkable and welcoming neighborhoods, and it's the store where the Midwestern-pride bit gets its biggest workout. Since opening in 2019, the Andersonville shop has leaned hard into Chicago-specific material — Cubs, Bears, Bulls, neighborhood jokes, digs at Texas, tributes to whatever local story is currently breaking containment — alongside the broader Midwestern catalog. The space is bright and easy to wander, with shirts, mugs, enamel pins, candles, tote bags, and greeting cards stacked in a way that rewards a slow browse. Andersonville is worth the trip on its own, and RAYGUN fits right into the neighborhood's mix of independent bookstores, vintage shops, and queer-friendly bars and restaurants. The staff is local and plugged in, so if you want a recommendation for where to grab a drink or dinner after, just ask. Pair it with a stop at Women & Children First a few blocks down and you've got most of a very good afternoon handled.
