To kick off the celebration, the first 100 guests in line will receive a free pair of the brand’s signature Smorange slides.

The event will also feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a special check presentation honoring this Can’s Smalls Town Hero, Caroline Merryman, owner of Caroline’s Cookies.

Merryman has become a Lafayette favorite not only for her sweet creations but also for her commitment to giving back. Caroline’s Cookies donates a portion of its proceeds to Healing House, a nonprofit organization that supports grieving children and their caregivers. In conjunction with the Smalls Sliders opening, Caroline’s Cookies will launch a limited-edition Smalls cookie, with proceeds from sales on September 6–7 benefiting Healing House.

Dustin Malbrough, owner of MOS Eats Holding LLC, said in a press release
