BRIDGETON, Mo.–Smalls Sliders opened its first Missouri "Can" today in Bridgeton.

“The excitement surrounding our first Missouri Can has been incredible,” said Beaux Hebert, franchisee and local operator of Smalls Sliders Bridgeton. “Bridgeton is the perfect community to debut this incredible brand. We’ve already felt the local enthusiasm, and we can’t wait to welcome our new Frequent Sliders to experience everything Smalls has to offer.”

The restaurant was originally intended to open earlier this month but was delayed.

Burger and french fry fanatics slid through the drive thru to be among the first Missourians to taste the sliders, fries, shakes, and queso. As they left, workers said, “thanks for slidin’ through.”

The iconic slider chain and it’s shipping container appearance is just off I-270 on Saint Charles Rock Road.
