Still no White Castle, but fast food joint focused on sliders opens its first Colorado location this week

It’s starting to feel like White Castle is the last major fast food joint that hasn’t moved into Colorado – and sadly there are still no plans – but there is a new fast food joint that focuses on sliders coming to our state soon!

Smalls Sliders – which has become a hit around the U.S. since it started in 2019 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana – will make Colorado it’s 18th state when it opens a location here this week. The first Colorado restaurant opens Thursday at 10 a.m. at 1831 E. 120th Ave. in Northglenn, near East 120th Avenue and Race Street. Johnstown and Denver locations are planned next.

The chain plans 10 locations in our state, with all of them expected in the “northern Denver” area.

Smalls Sliders, with Hall of Famer quarterback Drew Brees as part owner, serves an incredibly simple menu, mostly consisting of, you guessed it, Smalls Slider and Smalls Fries.
