Smalls Sliders® Inks First Official Development Deal for Nebraska

Groundbreaking Cheeseburger Slider Brand Opening Four Cans in Lincoln and Omaha

January 08, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // LINCOLN & OMAHA, Neb. – Smalls Sliders, the iconic cheeseburger slider brand dropping its signature Cans nationwide, has signed its latest and first development agreement to open four Cans in Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska.

This milestone marks Smalls’ entry into one of the brand’s key markets for growth, where strong retail development and a thriving college and young-professional base create a prime environment for the brand. The move further accelerates Smalls’ nationwide growth strategy and positions the brand to establish a meaningful presence across Nebraska with plans to drop the first of four Cans in 2026.

“Lincoln and Omaha represent incredible whitespace for us, and we’ve had our eye on this region for some time,” said Clint Penfield, Chief Operating Officer. “The area’s momentum, paired with rising consumer demand for fast, craveable food, makes Nebraska a standout market for Smalls. We’re thrilled to bring our disruptive model to a completely new audience and begin building our presence across the state.”

Site selection is currently underway for ideal real estate in the Omaha and Lincoln communities, with the first Can slated to drop in 2026.

Smalls Sliders serves fresh, cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders, seasoned waffle fries, and hand-spun milkshakes from its signature Smorange™-colored shipping containers, called “Cans.” This deliberately simple menu, focused on quality and speed, has propelled the brand from its first location in 2019 to more than 375 Cans open or under development across 30 states, attracting premier multi-brand franchisees nationwide.
