The Story
Born in Jersey,
Built for Laughs
Big Wieners started the way the best ideas always do — somewhere between
a punchline and a genuine business plan. Three guys from South Jersey looked
at the world of novelty apparel and decided it needed more nerve, more
personality, and a whole lot more fun. So they built it.
We design shirts, hats, and gear that make people do a double-take, then
crack a smile, then immediately ask where you got that. That moment — that's
what we're in business for.
What We Do
Apparel That Breaks The Ice
Every piece in the Big Wieners line is designed with one goal: to get a reaction.
Our graphics are bold, our humor is sharp, and our fits are actually good —
because a funny shirt that looks terrible is just a terrible shirt.
From tees to hats to stickers, we make stuff you'll actually want to wear out in
public. And stuff your friends will absolutely roast you for. Both are wins.
The Team
Three guys, one big idea
Big Wieners LLC is a three-partner operation out of Mays Landing, New Jersey.
No corporate overlords. No focus groups. Just three people with strong
opinions about what's funny and a shared commitment to backing it up with
real product.
The Crew
Tom: President Wiener
Randy: Senior Chief Wiener
Shawn: Executive Vice Wiener
Meet the founders
The Guy behind the name
Tom • President Wiener
Tom has been in the casino gaming industry for 47 years — which
means he knows exactly how to read a room, play the odds, and
spot a winning idea before anyone else at the table does.
Big Wieners isn't his first rodeo. Tom has a track record of successful
partnership ventures, including Three Guys Rolling Pies, proof that he
can build something real out of a great concept and the right crew.
The formula has always been the same: surround yourself with good
people, back it with quality, and don't half-ass anything.
That last part matters most to him. Doesn't matter if it's a business
deal or a graphic on a tee shirt — if it's not done right, it's not worth
putting your name on. And Tom puts his name on Big Wieners.
The guy who's still saving lives
Shawn • Executive vice wiener
Shawn spent 31 years as a police officer — keeping the peace,
protecting his community, and saving lives. Now he's hanging up the
badge and taking on his most important mission yet: making sure
nobody goes through life without a proper laugh.
At Big Wieners, Shawn is still in the life-saving business. One wiener
at a time. Because if a great shirt can pull someone out of a bad day,
put a smile on a stranger's face, or just break the tension in a room
full of people who take themselves way too seriously — that's a
public service. And Shawn has never walked away from one of those.
Thirty-one years of reading people, keeping cool under pressure,
and showing up when it matters. Turns out those skills translate
perfectly to the novelty apparel game.
The guy who keeps the beat
randy • Senior Chief Wiener
Randy has spent his life in two very different uniforms. First as a bass
player, holding down the low end and keeping the groove locked in
while the rest of the band got the glory. Then 40 years in the uniform
business, outfitting the people who show up, do the work, and keep
the world running.
What ties it all together? Randy has always understood that what
you wear says something about who you are. A bass player knows
the whole song falls apart without the foundation. A uniform guy
knows that fit, quality, and identity matter more than most people
realize.
At Big Wieners, he brings all of it — the rhythm, the craft, and four
decades of knowing exactly what good apparel looks and feels like.
He's not just along for the ride. He's keeping the whole thing in time.

Life's to short for boring shirts
There's no shortage of brands out there making safe, forgettable apparel. We're
not that. Big Wieners exists for the people who want to walk into a room and
immediately let everyone know exactly who they are — chaotic, confident, and
with a sense of humor that probably makes their mother nervous.
Shop with us if you like to laugh. If you want something to give someone that'll
make them spit out their drink. If you believe a great shirt is a conversation
starter, a calling card, and a personality statement all at once.
Welcome to the family. It's a weird one. You'll fit right in.
