Smalls Sliders® Opens Latest Texas Can in Tyler

March 06, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // TYLER, Texas – Tyler, it’s time to slide thru as Smalls Sliders officially opens on March 10, at 10 a.m. local standard time. The newest Can from the industry-disrupting cheeseburger slider brand is the latest to open in East Texas, located at 1781 S Southwest Loop 323.

The grand opening event will be held on March 10th, at 10 a.m. local time, and will feature a check presentation and ribbon-cutting ceremony with representatives from Boot Campaign, the Can’s Smalls Town Hero. Boot Campaign is a national nonprofit that unites Americans to honor and restore the lives of Veterans and military families through individualized health, wellness, and support programs.

“Being able to partner with Boot Campaign as our Smalls Town Hero makes this opening even more meaningful,” said Hank Hopkins, owner of the Tyler, Texas location. “The response to our Can drop has been incredible, and we’ve already felt so much excitement from the Tyler community. We can’t wait to officially open our doors and to serve our new neighbors.”

This latest Smalls Sliders Can is part of a broader multi-unit development led by Hank Hopkins and Austin Clinkscales of Cajun Burgers, LLC, who most recently opened the brand’s Arlington location. Longtime friends and fraternity brothers at the University of Alabama, Hopkins and Clinkscales are excited to bring Smalls Sliders to Tyler, serving up fresh, cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders perfect for everything from family dinners to game days and parties. With craveable party packs and a convenient drive-thru, they’re focused on making Smalls an easy go-to for any occasion.

“We were first drawn to Smalls Sliders because of the simplicity of the brand, the limited menu, and, most importantly, the incredible food,” said Clinkscales. “After seeing the response to our first Texas Can, we knew Tyler was the perfect community to expand to.”

To celebrate the grand opening, the Tyler Can plans to treat the first 100 guests to free sliders, with additional giveaways such as Smalls Sliders T-shirts while supplies last. The celebration will also include a performance by the Tyler High School band.
