## Story

**WHAT**: Smalls Sliders®, the fast-growing cheeseburger slider brand, is excited to welcome the Willis community back as it officially reopens its Can at 806 W. Montgomery Street following a temporary closure due to a fire earlier this year.

The Willis Can holds a special place in the Smalls story as the brand’s first location in Texas, originally opening in January 2025. After several months away, the Smalls Squad is ready to celebrate its return alongside the community that has supported the Can since day one.

Smalls Sliders is one of the fastest-growing brands in the restaurant industry, specializing exclusively in fresh, cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders that are small in size but big in taste. Smalls Sliders is the brainchild of restaurateur visionary Brandon Landry and is backed by 10 Point Capital and former NFL star Drew Brees, as investors.
