Armed with nothing but a sewing machine and some serious skills, Jenice Fallenstein hand-crafted costumes for her children every Halloween to create a unique array of pop culture characters they loved. Later, the Fallenstein family had the awesome idea to open up a costume rental shop in their garage, allowing the whole town to experience those quality costumes. With just a few dozen styles, the idea was an immediate hit, and continued to grow each year.
Amidst this local success, Tom Fallenstein had the idea to take the business online, and that proved to be a success to this day! But we're no longer in that small garage. We've evolved beyond just Halloween to become FUN.com, purveyors of exciting pop culture gifts, exclusive costumes and apparel, and all things fun!
Our incredible team is comprised of over 200 year-round employees and thousands of seasonal employees, all operating out of a 2000,000 square foot warehouse in Southern Minnesota. We ship Nerdy-Goofy-Fun all around the world!

Why Work for Us
We like to think of ourselves as being an awesome anomaly, an oasis of fun and confidence in the middle of so much competition. But it all starts right here where we work. We get up, we ride scooters, and we sell fun stuff around the world, every single day. It's hard to imagine, because it's the job we all wanted to have when we were eight, but didn't think could really exist! Well, we're happy to say that it's true and does, indeed, exist. Because we're dedicated to doing something so different, so unique, and so fun, we work hard and take a lot of pride in everything we do. That's the FUN.com way.
We call it being fun–of–a–kind!
No matter where you're from… No matter who you are… No matter what you're into… You're fun–of–a–kind here at FUN.com. We're so excited to help you discover everything that makes you smile, laugh, and feel confident about what's next, while remembering the things that once made us wide-eyed with wonder. Remember how you felt the first time you saw the DeLorean hit 88 miles per hour? Or how it felt to be right there with Luke as he blew up the Death Star, or cheering for Harry Potter as he discovered Platform 9¾? Those moments are what FUN.com is all about. Our team of pop culture experts are here to help you, and everyone around the world, feel unique in every way, every day, no matter what.
