MIDDLETON, Fla. – Middleton, it’s time to slide thru as Smalls Sliders officially hosts its grand opening on Sept. 29 at 10 a.m. Located at 2228 Intermediate Drive, the opening marks the latest addition to the fast-growing cheeseburger slider brand’s expanding Florida footprint.

To celebrate its arrival in Middleton, the local team is giving back to the community with a $1,000 donation to The Villages Charter School’s Buffalo Scholarship Foundation, which has been selected as the Can’s Smalls Town Hero. Supported by community members, business partners and alumni, the foundation helps graduating seniors pursue continued education through scholarship opportunities and has awarded more than $4.45 million to date.

The Middleton Can is also partnering with The Villages to offer its employees 10% off their orders when they present a valid employee ID, extending the restaurant’s connection to the community beyond opening day.

The Middleton opening builds on Smalls Sliders’ continued growth across the state and marks the latest Can from DPC Smalls, the experienced franchise group behind locations in Ocala, Fort Walton Beach, Tallahassee and St. Johns. With Middleton joining its growing portfolio, the group continues to spread the Smorange™ concept to new communities throughout the state.

“With each new Can we open, we’ve had the opportunity to become part of another Florida community, and we’re looking forward to doing that here in Middleton,” said a spokesperson for DPC Smalls Franchising. “We’ve seen firsthand how well the Smalls concept resonates with guests, and we’re proud to continue growing alongside the brand. Partnering with The Villages Charter School’s Buffalo Scholarship Foundation also gives us a chance to support the community from day one and recognize the outstanding work they’re already doing locally.”

Smalls Sliders has taken the nation by storm, and Middleton is next to join the Smaucy® revolution ignited by the brand’s fan-favorite menu. Specializing in fresh, cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders—small in size, big in taste—Frequent Sliders know they’re getting a quality product at Smalls Sliders.
