Slutty Vegan has opened a third location in metro Atlanta, this time on Edgewood Avenue. The grand opening was Saturday, October 24, AtlantaFi.com has learned.
The Atlanta restaurant is the hottest plant-based eatery in metro Atlanta. The venture was started by entrepreneur Pinky Cole, a former television producer, who started a food truck business two years ago.
The Edgewood location brings Cole’s meatless restaurant to Midtown Atlanta, right in the middle of the city’s gilded restaurant scene and just a few blocks away from the childhood home of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
“We are thrilled to move into the historic Edgewood District of Atlanta,” Cole said in a news release. “Edgewood is the exact neighborhood where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. grew up, and with his birth home being located directly behind Slutty Vegan, I know he has my back. It’s a true blessing to continue opening new locations when there are so many other small businesses whose doors have closed during the global pandemic. I want to empower those business owners to never give up on their dreams and continue to fight for what they love and what I know they too can accomplish.”
