Smalls Sliders, the industry-disrupting cheeseburger slider brand has inked a new development deal with an esteemed business group to drop four Cans across the El Paso region. This is the second development agreement with Rehman and Talha Ahmed and three of their business partners.

The group brings a wealth of diverse business expertise and experience to this new development. Talha is highly experienced in every aspect of the restaurant industry - from cooking to management - and combines her practical knowledge with a bachelor's degree in finance, positioning her to play a key role in both the financial and operational aspects of the business.

Rehman who's well experienced in restaurant operations will spearhead Cans development and as well play a key role in day-to-day operations. Beyond their strengths, the group boasts extensive franchise experience, managing over 140 units for leading brands like KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut.

"We were instantly captivated by the Smalls Sliders brand - the simplicity of its menu, the innovative Can buildout, and, of course, its undeniably craveable sliders," said Tahla. "After meeting with the leadership team, it was evident that Smalls Sliders is assembling a world-class team devoted to driving the success of its franchise partners. Their deep industry expertise and unwavering passion for the brand gave us complete confidence in the results we can achieve together.”

Smalls Sliders is one of the fastest-growing brands in the restaurant industry, specializing exclusively in fresh, cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders that are small in size but big in taste. Equipped with a streamlined drive-thru, walk-up window, and unique modular buildout, the Atlanta-based brand is headed towards nationwide growth with locations opening across the Southeast, Southwest, Midwest, and West Coast.

The brand offers a unique experience and a premium product for guests with its limited menu. It delivers both drive-thru and popular walk-up experiences, serviced from a unique modular construction design, allowing real estate flexibility and rapid construction of new restaurants.

Smalls Sliders is the brainchild of restaurateur visionary Brandon Landry, led by industry veteran Maria Rivera, CEO, and is backed by 10 Point Capital and former NFL star Drew Brees, as investors.

This new development is one of two major agreements signed by Talha, Rehman, and their business partners, alongside a five-unit agreement in Tucson, Arizona. This venture will strategically target communities across El Paso, including Ciudad Juárez, Sunland Park, and others. The first two units are slated to open in 2025.
