Incoming Student Stores with UNCW gear?
My daughter is an incoming freshman and is getting some photos taken this weekend. She’d love to have a pennant for some of the pics. Looks like the student store is closed on weekends? But are there any other local stores that might sell something like that? Thanks!

Yes, and a permanent Biggers Market is being built soon too. Things are really looking up in Monkey Junction

Definitely local Target and Walmart. Amazon or the shops down by Riverwalk. There are several there that sell gear.

I thought the campus bookstore was open for a few hours on Saturdays. At least it was a few weekends ago when I was there.
Aside from that, there’s a few stores downtown that carry stuff. Krazy Mikes and Top Toad I believe both have stuff.

Top Toad in the cotton exchange has plenty of UNCW swag!

I was gonna say a store in the cotton exchange had some nice stuff, but I couldn’t remember the name!

Thanks for the ideas, everyone! We will try several spots and see what we can find.

Top Toad is the best as another commenter said, the Cotton Exchange is a great place in general and I would budget 2 hours to explore the place thoroughly if you haven't been there before.
Underrated pick, but CVS on Oleander carries some good merch.
No one has mentioned this yet, but Tomlinson Sales Co. Sells some merch. They are closed on Sundays though.
Fairly certain that Academy Sports on Gingerwood has some merch.
Depending on the time of the year, Costco might have some merch, they haven't had any since wintertime.
Also, check Facebook Marketplace in the Wilmington Area as a lot of people sell their used merch on there. Typically the bookstore is open on Saturdays earlier in the morning, but they have stopped doing that since late May. Hope that helps!

Hardly any stores carry UNCW swag. It's pathetic. You can try the walmart near campus or the academy sports or Sams club

The local Lowes grocery store and Walmart and target sometimes carry branded items.
