Cheeseburger slider restaurant opens in Acworth

A new cheeseburger slider restaurant opened its doors in Acworth Wednesday. Smalls Sliders opened its new location located at 3240 North Cobb Parkway. It is the slider restaurant’s third location in Georgia and second in Cobb County, following the one in Marietta located at 2355 Windy Hill Road. Smalls serves fresh, cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders along with waffle fries, shakes, queso dip and its house sauce. It offers walk-up ordering windows and drive-thru service rather than a traditional indoor area. The restaurant has a distinct modular design built from orange shipping containers. “We’ve seen firsthand the enthusiasm that Smalls Sliders brings to the communities it serves, and we’re proud to continue growing the brand’s presence in Georgia,” franchisee Rocky Moore said. “Building on the momentum of our Marietta location, we see tremendous opportunity to introduce even more guests to the Smalls experience. "We look forward to becoming part of the Acworth community, creating local jobs and serving up the fresh, cooked-to-order sliders that have made this brand a fan favorite.”
