One of Hottest & Fastest Growing QSR
Brands Accelerates National Footprint While Celebrating Its First
Ranking on The Inc. 5000 List
ATLANTA, Aug. 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Smalls Sliders, the cheeseburger
slider brand disrupting the QSR industry with its record-breaking
development, is officially on its way to paint the nation
Smorange™ as it is slidin' thru the 300-Can mark. This marks
yet another significant milestone as the brand hit 200 Cans open or
under development only six months ago, highlighting an
unprecedented demand for the growing concept.
Smalls Sliders first captured the attention of multi-unit and
multi-brand operators almost immediately after re-opening
franchising a little over a year ago. After establishing a loyal
fanbase and dominating the restaurant scene in the Southeast,
Smalls Sliders quickly sparked nationwide intrigue with Cans now
open or under development across 24 states, six of which are
already sold out for future expansion.
"It is remarkable to see that Smalls Sliders has struck a chord
across the nation with established franchisees and Frequent Sliders
alike," said Don Crocker, Chief
Development Officer of Smalls Sliders. "To see a restaurant brand
maintain this level of momentum and continue surpassing notable
milestones in such a short period is no small feat and is a true
testament to the staying power of the Smalls Sliders brand. The
incredible growth and success of Smalls Sliders is underscored by
our support center's relentless drive to challenge the status quo
and inspire continuous innovation."
Another notable achievement for the brand includes its
first-ever ranking on the coveted 2024 Inc. 5000 list as Smalls
Sliders ranked within the top 50% on the annual list of the
fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious
ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful
companies within the economy's most dynamic segment—its
independent, entrepreneurial businesses—another nod to Smalls
Sliders' commanding industry reputation.
"Reaching this milestone is not only a testament to
the growing strength of our brand but a clear signal of
the exciting future that lies ahead for Smalls Sliders," said
Maria Rivera, CEO of Smalls Sliders.
"Our journey is just beginning, and the momentum we're
building will augment our broader vision
of evolving the way people experience QSR. We're not
just serving cheeseburger sliders; we're creating happy
experiences that resonate with our Frequent Sliders. As we
continue to expand across the country, our focus remains
on next-gen innovation, superior quality and
building lasting relationships in every community
we serve."
Smalls Sliders currently has Cans open across Louisiana and Mississippi, with the first Cans in
Florida and Texas set to open this summer amid high
anticipation. A robust pipeline is in place for the brand across
additional states like Arizona,
Colorado, Kansas, and more. Likewise, Smalls Sliders has
expanded growth opportunities to Idaho, Indiana and Montana, setting the stage to bring its
signature cheeseburger sliders to more communities nationwide.
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 300 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 in 2023 and 2024. Other accolades include ranking
on Entrepreneur magazine's "Top New & Emerging
Franchises" list in 2023 and 2024.
