Wilmington Sharks

The Wilmington Sharks’ mascot, Sharky, made a public appearance on April 22, 2026, attending the grand opening of the new Shake Shack location in Wilmington, North Carolina. The appearance highlighted the team’s community presence, as Sharky greeted customers at the store’s debut on Military Cutoff Road. The restaurant’s opening included a charitable component, with Shake Shack pledging to donate $1 from each sandwich sold that day to the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. The Wilmington Sharks’ involvement underscored their local engagement beyond the baseball field.
