TL;DR

As a brand that has been shakin’ up the industry since its inception in 2019, Smalls Sliders is embracing a slider state of mind with updates to its brand identity and image amid its unprecedented growth.

The updated site embodies the brand’s simplicity and offers streamlined navigation, making the brand’s inception and growth story a focal point for users. The site also includes online ordering and teases the brand’s loyalty rewards program, launching in early January 2024.
“Being next-gen is a fundamental part of what makes Smalls so special,” said Michael Alberici, SVP & Head of Marketing for Smalls Sliders. “This is a significant milestone for our brand as we continue to evolve from a concept to a leading brand in the QSR space.

The energy surrounding our brand is radiant and contagious, and we’re thrilled for what the future holds for Smalls Sliders.”
The new visual identify of Smalls Sliders is paired with a new purpose: to make everyone’s day a small bit better, mission: to serve cheeseburger sliders better than anyone else, and vision: to be the cheeseburger slider brand that shakes up the big burger industry. These big statements are what have transcended Smalls Sliders into the hottest QSR concept and the biggest thing to happen to burgers since buns.
