The agreement also includes hospitality opportunities, fan engagement moments, and appearances from beloved team mascots—including the Panthers’ Sir Purr and Charlotte FC’s Sir Minty —at select Whataburger restaurants across the Carolinas.

The collaboration reinforces Whataburger’s commitment to the Carolinas and its strong, growing brand presence. Over the past two years, the company has opened more than a dozen new restaurants across North and South Carolina, with many more in development. This expansion reflects a significant investment in the community and a dedication to delivering bold flavor to fans just the way they like it. That commitment has also been demonstrated through sponsorship of last year’s hurricane disaster relief event, Concert For Carolina, partnerships with local organizations, and a unique collaboration with North Carolina-based Wrangler—who has joined in celebrating multiple grand opening events across the state. Whether on the field, on the pitch, or in the community, Whataburger continues to deepen its ties and expand its impact across the Carolinas.
