The Slider Company makes chef-driven small sandwiches a specialty

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — The Slider Company is a Philly pop-up with a slogan that doubles as a greeting: servers start each order with the phrase, “How you slidin’ today?’

Co-founders William R. Johnson, Jr. and Anesha Garrett developed the business as a spot for elevated sliders, and not just burgers. Their menu includes varieties of sliders from chicken to shrimp, with chef touches like paprika-garlic spices, and a chipotle-lime slaw.

Sides and beverages are also on tap, and the current location has games for kids of all ages, plus water for pets. The current pop-up location at The Meadows by NKDCD runs through November 2025, in a park-like setting complete with a vintage Philadelphia trolley.

The business is also in residence at The Luxe apartment building at 1705 N. American Street, and will be moving to a permanent brick-and-mortar in the spring at 2043 Frankford Avenue, just steps away from the park.
