A burger concept famous for its eye-catching shipping container locations is opening in McKinney: Smalls Sliders<\/a>, a chain that specializes in wee sliders, will debut a location at 1700 N. Custer Rd., at the intersection of Hwy 380. According to a release, it’ll open with fanfare on August 18, including a ribbon-cutting at 10 am.<\/p>\n

This will be the second location in McKinney: The first, which opened<\/a> in April 2025, is a mere 4.2 miles east, off 380 near US-75. (There’s also a location in Arlington, which opened in October 2025.)<\/p>\n

Smalls Sliders is the brainchild of restaurateur Brandon Landry, and is backed by investors such as 10 Point Capital and former NFL star Drew Brees. Landry is also behind Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux, which just opened<\/a> its second DFW location in Wylie last week.<\/p>\n

Smalls Sliders specializes in cheeseburger sliders, plus waffle fries and shakes. The basic slider is a single patty with a pickle and their signature Smauce\u2122 \u2014 their rendition of the stereotypical Russian-dressing-style secret sauce combining mayonnaise and ketchup, and it’s a good thing they trademarked Smauce because who wouldn’t want to steal it.<\/p>\n

A “biggie” has two patties, and you can add bacon or jalape\u00f1os. There’s also a grilled cheese sandwich, and right now, they’re also offering a limited-edition cheeseburger slider with BBQ sauce, pickled jalape\u00f1os, and bacon.<\/p>\n

Waffle fries come seasoned, or you can get them “loaded” with queso, bacon, ranch, and jalape\u00f1o. You can also order the queso as a side. Prices are cheap: A basic slider starts at $2.79.<\/p>\n

Shakes come in six flavors: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, root beer, cookies & cream, and Fanta Orange, featuring Orange Fanta swirled with vanilla shake mix for a twist on a classic float with a Creamsicle-like flavor.<\/p>\n

Smalls’ “packaging” makes it stand out: They’re fabricated from shipping containers, which they call “cans,” and which are painted a bright orange. Easy to set up (and dismantle), they have no dining room \u2014 it’s all takeout, which can be ordered in a drive-through or via a walk-up window.<\/p>\n

This McKinney Can will be owned and operated by Serendipity Provisions LLC, who also own the other Smalls Sliders in McKinney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A burger concept famous for its eye-catching shipping container locations is opening in McKinney: Smalls Sliders, a chain…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258415,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[29702,13195,102,104,103,21372,75],"class_list":["post-409225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-bagels","tag-classes-lectures","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-food-events","tag-wine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409225\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
