Wichita, it’s time to slide thru as Smalls Sliders hosts its Can opening celebration on April 15 at 10:00 a.m. local Standard Time. The first Kansas Can opening from the industry-disrupting cheeseburger slider concept is situated at 1370 N Greenwich Road, Wichita, KS, within the Plazzio Retail and Entertainment Center in Eastern Wichita.
To further celebrate the opening, the first 100 guests at the Wichita Can will receive a pair of Smorange™ slides. The grand opening festivities will also feature a special check presentation to a representative from Wichita Children’s Home, the location’s Smalls Town Hero, a coveted honor that celebrates impactful community contributions. As the area’s only provider of emergency, temporary, and residential care for children, the Wichita Children’s Home has supported countless children and families across the community.
“It’s truly an honor and privilege to introduce such an iconic brand to guests in Kansas,” said Colton Sorlie, one of the local owners of the new Wichita Can. “As an incredibly vibrant community, this city makes the perfect home for the first Can in Kansas, and we can’t wait for guests to slide thru. We’ve already built connections with many residents who love what we have to offer, and we’re thrilled to create even more special moments with others in the community who have yet to experience the magic of Smalls Sliders.”
Smalls Sliders is continuing to sweep across the Midwest, most recently opening its first Missouri Can in Bridgeton, in addition to others slated to drop in Kansas City, St. Louis and Blue Springs. Slidin’ Thru ICT, the family-operated team consisting of Jim and Teresa Sorlie, along with their sons Matthew and Colton, plan to open four more Cans across Kansas. Smalls Sliders has taken the nation by storm, and Wichita is primed to join the Smaucy® revolution ignited by the brand’s fan-favorite menu. Specializing in fresh, cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders—small in size, big in taste—Frequent Sliders know they’re getting a quality product at Smalls Sliders. The menu also features fries, shakes, queso and Smalls Sliders signature Smauce®. Smalls isn’t just known for its iconic menu; it is also spotted from miles away thanks to its Smorange™ Can, uniquely made from shipping containers, featuring streamlined ordering through the walk-up window or drive-thru.
