About Us

Work For Gum

Work For Gum is a cheeky merch brand for the perpetually hustling and slightly hopeful. Tees, hoodies, and hats that say what we're all thinking: in this economy, I'll work for gum. Soft fits, good jokes, real rewards.

Our Story

Work For Gum started as a joke between college friends.

We were always scrambling. Side gigs, double shifts, group chats full of "is this even legal" job postings. The hustle never stopped.

Between shifts we'd joke, "I'll work for gum at this point." "Just pay me in gum, I don't care."

It became our thing. A way to laugh at the grind instead of letting it wear us down.

So we put the joke on a shirt. And that shirt became Work For Gum.

The Idea

Rent's up. The vibes are down. And somehow we're all still grinding.

"Will Work For Gum" is the cardboard sign turned into a fit — a little flag for everyone hustling for crumbs and laughing about it anyway.

It's not deep. It's gum. We just thought it should look good on a hoodie.
