Buy a Sammy’s Sliders Franchise

Sammy’s Sliders is a fast-casual gourmet slider franchise founded in 2023 by restaurateur Sam G. Ballas and award-winning chef Sammy Gianopoulos. It specializes in bold-flavored beef and chicken sliders, hand-breaded tenders, loaded fries, fresh salads, and signature hand-spun milkshakes, targeting craveable comfort food for dine-in, takeout, and delivery. After thriving in Winston-Salem, NC, and opening a second spot in Kernersville, the brand launched franchising in 2025 with strong franchisee interest, planning Southeast expansion amid 2024 milestones like a third location. Backed by Ballas’s experience with East Coast Wings + Grill and Gianopoulos’s IFMA 2022 Silver Plate Award, Sammy’s emphasizes simple execution and broad appeal in a competitive fast-casual market. This veteran franchisor-led model offers quick scalability for entrepreneurs eyeing recession-resistant quick-service growth.
