STORM ANNOUNCES DICK’S DRIVE-IN AS OFFICIAL FUEL PARTNER

Iconic Puget Sound brand joins the Storm as an official partner for the 2027 season

MARYSVILLE, WASHINGTON — September 16, 2026 — The North Sound Storm are proud to announce a new partnership with Dick’s Drive-In Restaurants, naming the iconic Puget Sound brand the Official Fuel Partner of the North Sound Storm.

For a team built around community, hard work and bringing people together, the partnership is a natural fit.

Since opening its first location in Seattle in 1954, Dick’s Drive-In has become a longtime part of the Puget Sound community, known for its burgers, fries and shakes — and for its continued investment in the communities it serves. The company’s newest location in Everett opened in 2025, bringing the longtime Northwest tradition even closer to the North Sound Storm community.

Now, Dick’s Drive-In and the Storm are teaming up as North Sound prepares for its inaugural season.

MORE THAN A MEAL. IT'S FUEL FOR THE STORM.

Football takes preparation, discipline, toughness and plenty of fuel.

The Storm are excited to have Dick’s Drive-In alongside the organization as players prepare for the upcoming season and the team continues establishing its presence throughout the North Sound.

As the Official Fuel Partner, Dick’s Drive-In will become part of the Storm experience both on and off the field as the organization continues developing opportunities to connect players, families, fans and local businesses.

“This partnership represents exactly what we want the North Sound Storm to be about — community,” said Alisha Injinmej, President of the North Sound Storm. “Dick’s Drive-In has been part of the fabric of the Puget Sound for generations and having them join us as our Official Fuel Partner is something we’re incredibly excited about. We’re building this organization from the ground up, and partnerships like this allow us to build something that extends far beyond football.”

ROOTED IN THE NORTH SOUND

The partnership comes at an important time for the Storm; a newly established nonprofit football organization focused on creating opportunities for athletes while building meaningful connections throughout the North Sound community.

The Storm's mission extends beyond the football field. The organization is committed to creating opportunities for athletes, supporting youth and community initiatives, and providing a place where people can continue to be connected to the game they love.

Dick’s Drive-In has similarly emphasized community involvement throughout its history, supporting local organizations and initiatives throughout the Puget Sound. The company's community philosophy centers on investing in employees and communities so that the communities it serves can thrive.

That shared community focus makes this partnership especially meaningful for the Storm.

THE STORM IS JUST GETTING STARTED

With the 2027 season approaching, North Sound is continuing to build its roster, front office, community partnerships and game-day experience.

And now, the Storm have some serious fuel behind them.

Welcome to the Storm, Dick’s Drive-In.
