Reality TV star bringing viral burger chain to Columbus

A plant-based burger joint founded by Atlanta Housewife, Aisha “Pinky” Cole, is coming to Ohio.

Slutty Vegan first launched in Atlanta in 2018 as a food truck concept from Cole—pre-housewife life—and has now turned into a full brick-and-mortar franchise.

The eatery gained a popular reputation for its menu full of suggestive plant-based burgers, sandwiches, and fries, such as The One Night Stand, Sloppy Toppy, and Hooker Fries.

On July 3rd, the burger chain owner announced it had signed agreements for two Ohio locations. The brand plans to make its highly anticipated debut in Columbus and Cleveland this fall. The concept came to Columbus for just a day as part of a national tour this spring.

“Ohio embodies the bold, hardworking and ready for something different energy that Slutty Vegan was built on,” said Pinky Cole Hayes, Founder and CEO of Slutty Vegan in a press release distributed via PR Newswire.

“Making our state debut in Columbus and Cleveland was a no-brainer and we’re looking forward to creating opportunity, building legacy and proving that plant-based dining can be fun, loud and unapologetically delicious in these markets and every market we enter thereafter,” she said.

The Ohio-based Soul Republic Hospitality Group will lead expansion efforts to the Ohio market.

More details on development updates and grand opening information will continue to be made public as the project progresses.
