CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Smalls Sliders announced on Thursday they plan to expand their cheeseburger slider brand with new restaurants in Clarksville and Henderson, Tennessee, and in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
In a statement to Clarksville Now, Smalls Sliders said it’s continuing its nationwide expansion with its latest signed agreement, which also marks the brand’s second entrance into both Kentucky and Tennessee, following recent multi-unit deals in Lexington and Knoxville.

Restaurants made from recycled shipping containers
Smalls Sliders is expanding with entrepreneur Matthew Robinson, who is actively eyeing real estate across Bowling Green, Henderson and Clarksville, with plans to open his first “can” next year. A “can” is what the company calls their restaurants due to them being built from of recycled shipping containers.
“I was immediately drawn to the simplicity of the Smalls Sliders concept – craveable cheeseburger sliders and the brand’s eye-catching Cans – both offering a truly innovative approach to growth,” Robinson said in the statement.
