Slutty Vegan Plans Columbus Debut as Part of Ohio Expansion
A fast-growing plant-based burger chain is preparing to make its Ohio debut, with Columbus among its first expansion markets. According to 614Now, Slutty Vegan has signed agreements to open locations in Columbus and Cleveland this fall. The announcement was made on July 3, marking the brand’s first entry into the Buckeye State. Founded by entrepreneur and reality television personality Aisha “Pinky” Cole Hayes, Slutty Vegan launched in Atlanta in 2018 as a food truck before expanding into a brick-and-mortar restaurant chain. The concept has become known for its playful branding and entirely plant-based menu, which features burgers, sandwiches and fries with names such as The One Night Stand, Sloppy Toppy and Hooker Fries. In a press release distributed through PR Newswire, Cole Hayes said Ohio was a natural fit for the brand’s next phase of growth. She explained that the state’s bold, hardworking spirit aligns with the values Slutty Vegan was built on and said the company looks forward to creating opportunities, building a lasting presence and showing that plant-based dining can be both approachable and flavourful.
