Smalls Sliders has signed an agreement with ARJH Encore LP LLC for five restaurants — dubbed "cans"— in West Texas. The deal marks the brand's fourth agreement in the state. More than 20 cans are under development in Texas.

ARJH Encore plans to have its first can open in late 2024 with more locations to follow.

"Seasoned operating groups like ARJH Encore and the wealth of knowledge that they bring to this venture are instrumental in driving the success of the Smalls Sliders brand," Maria Rivera, CEO of Smalls Sliders, said in a press release. "The Texas market has proven to be a resounding area of growth for our brand. I can't wait to see all that the group accomplishes in with their locations as they join the brand at such an exciting time."

Smalls Sliders has nine restaurants open throughout Louisiana. The brand has 100 locations in the development pipeline.
