Slutty Vegan Steps into Franchising Territory
They say you can't make everyone happy unless you're pizza, but it seems Pinky Cole Hayes is on a mission to prove burgers can do it too—vegan ones at that. Slutty Vegan is cutting deals like butter in a hot pan, expanding its plant-based reign right into Washington, D.C., and doubling down in its Atlanta origins. This isn't just about flipping patties; it's about culture, boldness, and a no-holds-barred branding ride.
Strategic Partnerships Fuel Growth
New franchise agreements are inked, with Khadejah Davis and Jamel Douglas, known for their clan in Juici Patties, steering Atlanta's ship. These folks aren't new kids on the block—they bring heat and experience to a brand that's turned heads since its infamous food truck days in 2018. Meanwhile, over in D.C., Brandi Forte—a stalwart in the franchise game—steps up to the plate. This isn't amateur hour; it's a seasoned play to capture hearts and stomachs.
Pinky Cole Hayes said, "I was intentional about partnering with operators who understand our business and the culture because this is bigger than the burgers."
Beyond Burgers: Planting Roots in Culture
If you're thinking this is just about business growth, think again. Cole Hayes isn’t just peddling burgers; she's breaking every boring stereotype about veganism along the way. Her mission? Redefine vegan eating to be as pleasurable and indulgent as any fast-casual greasy spoon could ever dream of. And she's got the bold flavors and energy-packed customer experience to back it up.
Franchising: A Natural Evolution
With the nation getting a taste for plant-based indulgence, it’s only natural that Slutty Vegan's next play is into franchising. To some, it might seem like a typical expansion, but Cole Hayes has eyes set on strategic, sustainable moves. Picking partners who not only get the vibe but have the know-how to spread it, is crucial. This is more than just a culinary quest; it’s an all-out cultural crusade.

Slutty Vegan's punchy, and, let’s be honest, slightly cheeky marketing approach isn’t just about getting people to eat their greens. It’s about crafting a narrative where vegans don’t just deserve a seat at the table—they're building the darn thing from scratch.
Pinky Cole Hayes: The Powerhouse Behind the Brand
Let's not forget, the powerhouse herself, Pinky Cole Hayes, isn’t just investing in franchises—she's investing in impact. On top of being a best-selling author, her boldness is now reaching living rooms nationwide through Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta. It's a stage that not only highlights her dynamic personality but invites a new audience to the Slutty Vegan adventure.
A Visionary to Watch
With the way this brand is expanding, potential investors should have their eyes peeled. The franchise might just be in its early stages, but with Hayes and her dream team steering, Slutty Vegan is a name not just for the plant-eaters but for anyone who’s seeking a slice of innovation in fast-casual dining.
This isn’t your average franchise operation—it's a cultural and culinary rebellion with a side of "Slut Sauce." And let’s face it, both the brand and its founder aren't slowing down anytime soon. As they continue their national trek, grabbing market spots faster than ketchup spills on a white shirt, investing in this venture could just leave you vegans and carnivores alike licking your lips—and possibly your fingers.
