St. Petersburg Set to Welcome Smalls Sliders!

Good news, slider lovers of St. Petersburg! A delicious new eatery is making its way to town, and it’s making things a little different—think cheeseburger sliders served straight from a converted shipping container! Smalls Sliders, a super fun concept out of Louisiana, is gearing up to open its very first location in the Tampa Bay area at 8624 Fourth Street North. What’s even cooler? This spot is designed for quick service with a double-lane drive-thru!

The Container Craze

So, what’s with the shipping container? These unique restaurant spaces, often referred to as “cans,” are all the rage! Each can measures around 750 square feet and is built offsite in a climate-controlled location, then delivered right to their home. This innovative setup not only maximizes space but also includes a walk-up window and outdoor patio seating for those who prefer to enjoy their meals al fresco. Imagine chowing down on sliders while basking in the beautiful Florida sun—sounds perfect, doesn’t it?

Eat Your Heart Out!

Now, let’s get to the good stuff—the menu! Smalls Sliders specializes in made-to-order, never-frozen all-beef cheeseburger sliders. These little gems come with cheese and pickles nestled between a toasted buttered bun, slathered with their secret sauce, widely known as Smauce. And if that’s not enough to whet your appetite, they have seasoned waffle fries made from russet potatoes and delightful milkshakes in flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and cookies n’ cream.

Slider combos start at an incredibly wallet-friendly price of just $2.79. If you’re feeling adventurous, be sure to check out their pre-fixed combo meals, which include double beef patties, crispy bacon, and loaded fries drizzled with both Smauce and queso. Sounds like a feast worthy of a football tailgate!

More Than Just Sliders

Besides the mouth-watering food, convenience is high on their list of priorities. Smalls Sliders will accept online orders and partner with popular digital delivery services, ensuring that your sliders are just a click away.

What’s Next for St. Petersburg?

While there’s much excitement about their new St. Pete location, the official opening date is still a mystery. Originally, this site was earmarked for a different venture, named Little’s, which never took off. Thankfully, Smalls Sliders is here to fill that gap and offer something delicious instead!

Beyond St. Pete: Expansion Plans

But wait, there’s more! The franchisee, Purple Square Management, which also manages other popular brands like Baskin Robbins and Dunkin’ Donuts, has big plans on the horizon. They’re looking to establish a total of nine Smalls Sliders locations across the Tampa Bay area, with potential new sites in vibrant communities such as Tampa, Clearwater, Lakeland, Spring Hill, Sarasota, Cape Coral, and Naples!

A Growing Trend in Florida

Right now, Smalls Sliders has a couple of locations operating in Florida—Ocala and Pensacola—and with over 350 “cans” either open or in the works nationwide, the brand is on a roll since it started franchising in 2021. Founded by Brandon Landry, who also opened Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux, Smalls Sliders aims to leave a flavorful mark on cities across the country, starting with St. Petersburg!

The Anticipation Builds!

As the buzz around Smalls Sliders grows, so does our anticipation. So, grab your friends and gear up for some sliders, fries, and shakes that are sure to satisfy! With the locals eagerly waiting for this fresh addition to the culinary scene, we can’t help but wonder what the future holds for this tasty venture!
