Smalls Sliders has inked a deal with restaurateurs Blain and Martin Bech, Andre Clemons and Louis Gotreaux of TSM Development LLC to expand the brand's reach in the Baton Rouge area. The deal follows a record-breaking opening for the business partners in Denham Springs, Louisiana. They'll add three additional units to their existing growth plans for Baton Rouge, bringing their ownership to six units, according to a press release.
"Given the success of our first Can in Denham Springs, it seemed only natural to expand our franchise footprint in Baton Rouge," Bech said in the press release. "The feedback we've received from guests so far has been tremendously encouraging. We've witnessed the demand for our craveable cheeseburger sliders firsthand, and it has only further solidified our confidence in the concept and the strong leadership team behind it."
"We are delighted with TSM Development's success in Denham Springs and look forward to supporting their team as they expand the presence of Smalls Sliders in the area," Maria Rivera, CEO of Smalls Sliders, said in the press release. "Blain, Martin, Louis and Andre's passion, dedication and commitment to the brand is truly inspiring, and we are confident that they will continue to deliver the same exceptional experience that the Baton Rouge community craves."
Smalls Sliders opened its first restaurant in 2019 and has more than eight units in Louisiana. The brand has more than 40 locations in the development pipeline.
