Smalls Sliders restaurant coming to Jonesboro

The first Smalls Sliders restaurant in Arkansas will be opened in Jonesboro, according to Haag Brown Commercial. It will be located in front of the Sumo Japanese Steakhouse on Red Wolf Boulevard.

Terms of the deal were and when it will be open were not released. However, it is slated to open in time for football season this fall.

Backed by former NFL quarterback Drew Brees, Smalls Sliders is a quick-serve restaurant that serves cheeseburger sliders, waffle fries, shakes, and signature “smauce.”

It was a lot of fun getting to work with the Smalls’ group on their first Arkansas location here in Jonesboro. Visibility and access were key and the site in front of one of Jonesboro’s top-producing restaurants, Sumo Japanese Steakhouse, was the perfect fit. Cannot wait for Jonesboro to get to experience this cool new burger concept,” Haag Brown Commercial executive broker Zac Qualls said.

Founded by Brandon Landry in Louisiana in 2019, Smalls Sliders has opened 14 locations with more than 240 “cans” currently under development in multiple states, and 30 slated to open in 2024.

The Smalls Sliders “can”, is a prototype comprised of several orange and gray shipping containers featuring a full-service drive-through, walk-up window, and outdoor patio. An average of 35,000 vehicles per day will pass the Smalls Sliders can once it is opened.
