Whataburger Mercy Me Store and Retail Merchandise Prices
Whataburger fandom runs so deep that the brand has become a lifestyle label: people wear the orange-and-white stripes, put the Flying W on their cars, and stock their kitchens with branded sauces. Whether you are shopping for yourself or hunting for a gift for the Whataburger devotee in your life, this guide covers the retail side of the brand — the official online merchandise store, the types of products sold, typical prices, and the grocery-store line that brings Whataburger flavors home.
The centerpiece of Whataburger retail is the company’s official online store, WhataStore.com, which sells branded apparel, accessories, and select food products including the famous Fancy Ketchup and Spicy Ketchup. Limited-edition drops — such as the 2026 ACL Fest collaboration collection — sell out quickly and often carry premium prices. Beyond the official store, Whataburger original-recipe products appear in grocery stores, and the flagship Corpus Christi restaurant features an expanded merchandise area for visitors.

The Official Online Store: WhataStore.com
WhataStore.com is the official Whataburger merchandise shop, operated for the brand. It carries the full range of licensed apparel and gear: t-shirts, hoodies, hats, socks, drinkware, blankets, dog bandanas, phone accessories, and seasonal items. Designs range from classic orange-and-white stripe motifs and the Flying W logo to playful food-themed graphics. Prices are approximate, vary by item and collection, and change over time — the figures below are typical ranges, not guarantees.
The store also sells selected sauces, including the famous Fancy Ketchup and Spicy Ketchup in bottles you can keep at home. For a brand whose ketchup has its own devoted fan following, the bottled sauces are among the most popular non-apparel items. Shipping is handled through the online store, and promotions and limited drops are announced through Whataburger’s official channels.
Typical Merchandise Price Ranges
| Item | Price (approx.) |
|---|---|
| Graphic t-shirts | Around $25–$40 |
| Long-sleeve tees | Around $35–$45 |
| Hoodies and sweatshirts | Around $55–$75 |
| Hats and beanies | Around $25–$35 |
| Drinkware (mugs, tumblers) | Around $15–$30 |
| Bottled Fancy Ketchup / Spicy Ketchup | Around $7–$12 |

Remember: all prices are approximate, vary by collection and availability, and change over time. Check the official store for current pricing before ordering.
Limited-Edition Drops and Collaborations
Whataburger periodically releases limited-edition merchandise, often tied to events or cultural moments. A recent example is the 2026 Whataburger x ACL Fest collection, which included tees at around $40, a dad hat at around $40, and an online-only utility vest at around $60, sold in ultra-limited quantities. These drops typically sell out quickly, and resale prices can run much higher — so if you want a piece, shopping early through official channels is the only reliable strategy.
Past collaborations and seasonal collections have included holiday apparel, Texas-themed gear, and anniversary items for milestones like the 75th anniversary in 2025. Signing up for official email updates and following the brand’s social channels is the best way to hear about new drops before they sell out.
Whataburger Products in Grocery Stores
Beyond the online store, Whataburger sells original-recipe products in grocery stores across its markets. The grocery line has included bottled Fancy Ketchup, Spicy Ketchup, and other condiments, plus items like Whatachick’n breading mix in some markets. Grocery prices are generally lower than the online store’s shipped prices — a bottle of Fancy Ketchup in a grocery aisle typically runs around $4–$6 — though availability depends on your region.
These retail products are a good option if you want the flavors without paying shipping, and they make easy gifts. Availability varies by store and state, with the widest selection in Texas and the core Southern markets.
In-Restaurant and Flagship Merchandise
The “Whataburger By the Bay” flagship restaurant in Corpus Christi (121 Shoreline Boulevard) features an expanded merchandise area where visitors can buy branded gear in person. It is a popular stop for fans making a pilgrimage to the city where the brand was founded — you can tour the replica of the 1950 original stand and shop the merch wall in the same trip.

Gift Cards and Gifting Tips
For gifting, a Whataburger gift card paired with a piece of merch is a classic combo. Gift cards can be purchased in various denominations and checked for balance online — see our Whataburger gift card guide for details on balance checks and bulk buying.

How to Spot Official Merchandise
Whataburger’s popularity means counterfeit merch exists. To be sure you are buying the real thing, shop WhataStore.com, the flagship store in Corpus Christi, or authorized retail partners (such as Academy Sports + Outdoors, which has carried Whataburger merchandise). Be skeptical of third-party marketplace listings with prices far below the typical ranges above, blurry logos, or misspelled branding.
Merchandise Gift Ideas by Budget
Shopping for a Whataburger fan? Here’s how to build a great gift at three price points. Under $25: a bottle of Fancy Ketchup from a grocery store (around $4–$6) paired with a fun accessory like socks or a pin from the official store makes a thoughtful small gift. Around $25–$50: a graphic tee (around $25–$40) is the sweet spot — wearable, unmistakable, and available in dozens of designs from classic stripes to playful food graphics.
Around $50–$100: step up to a hoodie (around $55–$75) or bundle a tee with a tumbler and bottled Spicy Ketchup for a themed gift box. For the ultimate fan, watch for limited-edition drops — a $40–$60 collaboration piece feels exclusive because it is. Pair any merch gift with a gift card so they can enjoy a meal too; our gift card guide covers denominations and bulk buying. And if your gift includes a restaurant trip, remember that nutrition figures are approximate — check Whataburger’s official website for current nutrition data.
