The agreement will bring six Smalls Sliders Can-style units—a unique modular construction—to the Atlanta area.
Founded in 2006 by Vik & Sanjay Patel, Purple Square Management Co. operates more than 245 franchise locations across the U.S. with a portfolio including Dunkin’ and Popeyes.
“With more than 15 years of experience in the franchise industry, our team recognizes the value of diversifying our portfolio to blend established brands with new and unique concepts,” said Vik Patel. “Smalls Sliders piqued our interest for many reasons, including the simplicity of the menu and the distinctive Can model, both of which have allowed the brand to build a large following of incredibly loyal guests in just a few short years.”
Smalls Sliders opened its first restaurant in 2019 and has since grown to eight Cans throughout Louisiana, with more than 60 locations already in the development pipeline. The group aims to have its first two Atlanta locations open in early 2024, with four additional locations to follow soon after. In addition, Purple Square Management Co. aims to expand its development agreement with the brand in the future.
