History
PDX Sliders was owned by Ryan Rollins, who opened the business as a food cart in 2014. PDX Sliders began operating as a brick and mortar restaurant on Bybee Boulevard in southeast Portland's Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood on January 21, 2017. In October, Rollins announced plans to expand to the former Sunshine Tavern space on Division Street in the Richmond neighborhood. He hoped to open by December 1. The restaurant opened on December 8 with a seating capacity of approximately 45. In September 2019, Drew Carney of KGW said PDX Sliders had "plans to unveil a third [location] by the end of the year". Rollins died in 2023.
