Smalls Sliders, the industry-disrupting cheeseburger slider brand, has announced its latest multi-unit agreement with esteemed franchise group Slide Thru. The six-Can agreement marks another milestone, as it will bring the first Smalls Sliders location to Oklahoma.
Slide Thru, spearheaded by entrepreneur Kyle Abrusley, brings an extensive business development and sales background to this venture. Skilled in customer relations, the group’s experience will play a pivotal role in the success of their future Smalls Sliders locations and make each location a truly enjoyable place to work.
“We were immediately drawn to Smalls Sliders due to the eye-catching nature of the brand, with its limited menu, unique Can designs and of course, its craveable cheeseburger sliders,” says Abrusley. “After meeting with the all-star team behind the brand, we all felt very confident in its success and ability to become a staple here in Oklahoma. We are thrilled to be a part of the brand’s impressive growth and open our first Can very soon.”
Targeting key cities in the region such as Tulsa, Sand Springs, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Stillwater and Muskogee, the group aims to open its first Can in early 2025.
“Over the past few months, Smalls Sliders has taken the opportunity to expand into new markets across the country, which is a testament to the scaling power of our brand,” says Maria Rivera, CEO of Smalls Sliders. “Expanding into Oklahoma was a logical next step for our brand as all neighboring states already have Cans under development. Kyle and his team are well-equipped to introduce our name to the state’s major cities, and we’re eager to see them open in the coming year.”
Smalls Sliders opened its first signature ‘Smorange’ colored Can in 2019. Since its inception, Smalls Sliders has disrupted the quick-service industry with its stacked leadership team and robust development pipeline, furthering its rapid growth trajectory with more than 200 Cans open or under development. The brand continues to garner high-level industry recognition, with QSR Magazine ranking the brand in its annual QSR 50 Contenders list. Other accolades include ranking on Entrepreneur magazine’s “Top New & Emerging Franchises” list in 2023.
