IRONTON, Ohio - s4story -- Emnett Construction Company has completed construction on a new Smalls Sliders location in South Point, Ohio. Developed for franchise owners Tristate Sliders, the custom project introduces a groundbreaking design feature for the brand's Midwest additions: Smalls Sliders' first-ever enclosed glass patio.

Designed to adapt the brand's original Southern concept for Midwest weather conditions, the climate-controlled glass patio was integrated mid-construction to provide comfortable year-round seating. The overall build utilizes Smalls Sliders' iconic pre-fabricated 850-square-foot modular "Can" design, which is built in a climate-controlled factory to ensure consistency, safe construction, and an accelerated opening timeline.

The project was successfully executed under the leadership of Project Manager Joey Emnett and Site Superintendent Jeremy Lute.

"We are thrilled to partner with Tristate Sliders to deliver such a unique and tailored build to South Point," said Jake Emnett, President of Emnett Construction. "Integrating the glass-enclosed patio mid-construction presented a unique set of challenges, but our team executed the build with precision to ensure a high-quality finish that serves the local community year-round."
