Slutty Vegan is a new concept in the Atlanta dining scene. The eponymous business opened last year, just as restaurants were closing and neighborhoods were suffering a serious food crisis. With two locations, socially isolated customers waited outside for hours. Within six months, the restaurant had made $4 million in sales. Chicago Defender spoke with Pinky Cole about her business model, philanthropy, and plans to revitalize Black communities in the near future.
Before opening her first restaurant, Cole was a successful television producer for “The Maury Show” and “The Today Show.” She later opened a Jamaican food truck in New York, which failed because of a grease fire. After the incident, Cole decided to focus on her vegan lifestyle and started Slutty Vegan. As her business has grown, she has been able to secure funding from investors and partners, including the PepsiCo Foundation and the National Urban League.
The restaurant is a hit among vegans and vegetarians, with two locations in Atlanta. The menus at Slutty Vegan are crave-worthy and often have long lines. Its burgers and curries are a hit among diners, and Cole hopes to expand her empire to other cities soon. The two-woman team also plans to expand the concept to other cities, including London, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.
In addition to opening restaurants, Pinky Cole is focusing on philanthropy and using her new business model to revitalize Black neighborhoods. She has recently signed a partnership with a major shoe company and is working on a handbag line. She hopes to open a Slutty Vegan restaurant every month and has plans for eight food trucks. Currently, she has three locations in Atlanta and plans to open a fourth in 2021.
As the company has expanded, Pinky Cole is also working hard to give back. She has helped create scholarships for juvenile offenders in Atlanta and donated more than 100,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables to those facing food insecurity. Her restaurant is a great place to start a vegan meal. But it’s not all about the food. You can also use your Slutty Vegan experience to make friends with a celebrity.
