Smalls Sliders has big plans for its ‘Smorange Cans’

A rising-rising cheeseburger franchise is about to get even bigger.

Smalls Sliders announced that it is open for franchise development in six additional states, including Illinois, Nevada, Ohio, South Dakota, Virginia, and West Virginia. The latest move gives Smalls Sliders a network in 30 states total.

The Atlanta, Georgia-based company also said that it officially sold out in eight states, with Arizona and Georgia being the latest while joining Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Mississippi.

“Our expansion into six new states marks yet another significant milestone for Smalls Sliders as we continue our rapid growth trajectory,” said Don Crocker, chief development officer of Smalls Sliders. “The remarkable demand we’re seeing is a testament to the strength of our brand and the passion of our franchisees who live our brand promise every day.”

According to Smalls Sliders, the latest news caps a year of strong growth as the franchise moves toward a milestone of nearly 400 “Smorange Cans” open or under development. Smorange Cans is what Smalls has dubbed the construct of its locations, which are essentially bright orange shipping containers.

Along with the modular design, franchises feature a drive-thru (aka slide-thru) and walk-up window.

Additionally, Smalls Sliders has launched a newly franchising website. The enhanced digital platform features a cinematic founder’s video from Brandon Landry, showcasing the brand’s unique story and vision.

The new website offers an interactive experience, providing experienced operators with real-time information as “the brand accelerates its growth at an unprecedented pace.” Smalls said.

Smalls Sliders opened its first location in 2019. This past February the company launched a new loyalty rewards program and app.
