US EditionSlutty Vegan Restaurant Founder Pinky Cole Files for Bankruptcy
Pinky Cole filed to restructure $1.4 million in debt including a $1.2 million SBA COVID-19 loan while keeping six Atlanta locations operational.
- Aisha 'Pinky' Cole, founder of Slutty Vegan, filed for Chapter 11 in federal court in Georgia, seeking to restructure nearly $1.4 million in liabilities including a $1.2 million SBA EIDL and $192,000 in state taxes.
- A state-level restructuring in 2025 showed that Slutty Vegan faced multiple 2023 lawsuits over unpaid wages and rent, prompting legal and financial strain.
- Chapter 11 allows the company to keep operating while it reorganizes, and the chain now runs six locations after scaling back from earlier expansion, according to WSB-TV.
- One day after reports, Cole posted on Instagram joking about bankruptcy, while the restaurant has not issued an official statement and USA TODAY has asked for comment.
- The company's rise from a food truck to a brand with 14 locations and roughly $100 million valuation highlights its significant cultural and business impact before filing for Chapter 11.
