Industry Disrupting Cheeseburger Slider Brand Set to Open
Company-Owned and Operated Cans, Starting in the Fall of
2024
ATLANTA, June 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Smalls Sliders, the cheeseburger
slider brand that is painting the restaurant industry Smorange™,
has announced that is accelerating the brand's growth plans by
developing Company-owned and operated Cans. The very first
Company-owned Can for the groundbreaking concept will be dropping
in Georgia.
With over 250 Cans open or under development, the brand is
poised for growth across new and existing markets as it ramps up
expansion beyond its Southeast roots. To further build upon this
foundation, the brand is launching this Company Can initiative to
invest in its long-term success while simultaneously elevating its
franchise footprint across key regions and states. Through a robust
pipeline in place, Smalls Sliders is now projecting that the brand
will reach 40 open Cans in 2024.
"Smalls Sliders has truly emerged in the QSR space," said
Don Crocker, Chief Development
Officer of Smalls Sliders. "The development of our new
Company-owned Cans signifies the commitment and investment in the
longevity and health of our special brand. By augmenting our
franchise focus with the Company expansion of our footprint in key
regions, like our home state of Georgia, we aim to enhance our brand presence
and solidify our pathway to being a dominant player in the QSR
industry."
Notably, the brand also recently ranked on Entrepreneur's Top
New & Emerging Franchises list for the second year in a row,
indicating the intense draw and growth potential the concept
continues to present.
"Our Company-owned Cans initiative allows us to accelerate
growth throughout the country," noted Maria
Rivera, Chief Executive Officer of Smalls Sliders. "Starting
with Georgia while we explore
development opportunities in South
Carolina, Central Florida,
and Tennessee, allows us to
strategically scale our operations and meet the growing demand for
our brand in both new and existing markets."
Smalls Sliders currently has Cans open across Louisiana and Mississippi, with a robust pipeline of growth
set across 18 states in the Southeast and the Midwest. Likewise,
Smalls Sliders has expanded its target growth markets to
Utah, Colorado, Kentucky and more, ramping up to officially
paint the nation its signature 'Smorange™' color.
Smalls Sliders opened its first signature 'Smorange™' colored
Can in 2019. Since its inception, Smalls Sliders has disrupted the
QSR industry with its stacked leadership team and robust
development pipeline, furthering its rapid growth trajectory with
more than 250 Cans open or under development. The brand continues
to garner high-level industry recognition, with Nation's Restaurant
News featuring Smalls Sliders in its "Breakout Brands of 2023", and
QSR Magazine ranking the brand in its annual QSR 50
Contenders list. Other accolades include ranking on
