Smalls Sliders has opened its newest restaurant in Hammond, Louisiana, bringing its signature Smorange Can concept to 1743 S.W. Railroad Avenue. The restaurant officially opened November 10, 2026, with local operator Jason Barre leading the operation. The opening marks the fifth location for MOS Eats, the franchise group behind the restaurant, and extends the brand's presence in southeastern Louisiana.
The Hammond opening also carries a community focus. During the grand opening, the Food Pantry at Southeastern Louisiana University was recognized as the brand's Smalls Town Hero. The pantry provides perishable and nonperishable food items to active students experiencing food insecurity. Barre said recognizing the organization was a fitting way to celebrate the restaurant's arrival and acknowledge its contribution to the local community.
The new restaurant is part of MOS Eats' ongoing development with Smalls Sliders. The group operates locations in Lafayette, Gonzales, and Thibodaux, with two restaurants in Lafayette. The Hammond opening follows the relocation of its existing Prairieville Can, making the new site the group's fifth location rather than an additional sixth restaurant. Barre described the opening as an opportunity to welcome another community to the brand's made-to-order menu.
Smalls Sliders specializes in cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders served with its signature Smauce®. The menu also includes seasoned fries, hand-spun shakes, and queso. Its distinctive Smorange Cans, built from shipping containers, use walk-up ordering windows and drive-thru service to support the brand's streamlined restaurant format.
Beyond the menu and restaurant design, the opening highlights how franchise operators can build local recognition through community involvement. Social Media tools available through Gorilla Dash can help franchise businesses share opening announcements, spotlight local organizations, and keep customers informed about community initiatives. For MOS Eats, the Hammond restaurant represents another step in its development with Smalls Sliders, while the recognition of the university food pantry gives the launch a meaningful connection to the community it now serves.
