The Story Behind Sammy’s Sliders

What happens when an award-winning chef and a franchise industry powerhouse come together? A fast-casual revolution is born.

Sammy’s Sliders is the brainchild of Chef Sammy Gianopoulos, a National Silver Plate Award-winning culinary master, and Sam G. Ballas, a proven franchise leader known for scaling successful restaurant brands. Both were raised in family-owned restaurants, started washing dishes at 12, and share a lifelong passion for great food and smart business.

Beyond the Bun. Beyond the Ordinary.

With a chef-driven menu, premium ingredients, and a fresh take on the classic slider experience, Sammy’s Sliders is setting a new standard in fast-casual dining. But what truly sets us apart isn’t just what’s on the plate—it’s the culture we’ve built.

We believe in:
Hard work with heart – A brand built by restaurant people, for restaurant people.
Making memories over meals – Food should be an experience, not just fuel.
Scalability without compromise – Growth that prioritizes quality, innovation, and responsible franchising.

At Sammy’s, it’s not just a slider – it’s a meal, a movement, and an opportunity. We’re looking for passionate entrepreneurs who share our vision and want to bring this one-of-a-kind concept to their community.
