On the occasion of Slutty Vegan's sixth anniversary, Founder and CEO Pinky Cole Hayes made a special announcement. She presented her two loyal employees, Angel Barnwell and Miesha Hambrick, with the opportunity to become the first licensees of the restaurant. In a heartfelt Instagram post on August 6th, Cole Hayes expressed her gratitude for Barnwell and Hambrick, who have been an integral part of building Slutty Vegan since its humble beginnings in her two-bedroom apartment in 2018. She fondly remembers how they poured their hearts and souls into the business, and now they will have a chance to be entrepreneurs themselves.
The new location in Jonesboro, Georgia, gifted to Barnwell and Hambrick, is a reflection of their hard work and dedication. As seen in the Instagram video, the restaurant features a spacious porch area and signature Slutty Vegan graphics on the ceiling. Customers will also have the option to shop for merchandise while waiting for their orders. It's a dream come true for Barnwell and Hambrick, who have been with the company since its inception.
Barnwell, currently the assistant vice president of Slutty Vegan, joined as a social media intern in October 2018. She quickly rose through the ranks to become the social media manager, where she personally interacted with customers. In a spotlight video for Black History Month, Barnwell recalls the rollercoaster ride of working for Slutty Vegan, which now has 13 locations and multiple food trucks. She is grateful for the opportunity to become one of the first licensees, having witnessed the company's growth and success over the years.
Hambrick, the operations manager for Slutty Vegan, is known for her dedication and hard work. As soon as she wakes up, she is on top of emails, phone calls, and messages to ensure smooth operations. She joined the company in November 2018 and has been an integral part of its success. In 2023, she was featured on BLACK ENTERPRISE's digital cover, and in 2021, she proudly introduced herself as Slutty Vegan's tour director. Her role involves testing new markets, overseeing operations, and ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Cole Hayes is grateful to Barnwell and Hambrick for their sacrifices and contributions to Slutty Vegan's success. The Jonesboro location is a testament to their hard work and a step closer to fulfilling their career dreams. As the company continues to expand and thrive, Cole Hayes is proud to have her two right-hand women by her side, making Slutty History together. Let's show Angel some love this Black History Month for her unwavering support and dedication to Slutty Vegan!
