Just two years old, the company’s revenues grew to 4 million within the first 6 months of its grand opening. With a rotating menu and a standard 2-hour wait, to pick up made to order food, Slutty Vegan is a game changer. If you think the phenomenon is only about food, you’d be greatly mistaken. Cole has hit the trifecta of community, commerce and compassion.COLE’S IMPACT DOES NOT STOP THERE.Serial Entrepreneur, Brand Strategist, and a Veteran Television Producer, Cole pours all her love, experience and talent into a recipe for success increasing revenues this year by 15%. When restaurants are closing, Slutty Vegan opened two locations with socially distanced lines down the block. While record numbers of people are unemployed, Slutty Vegan is providing sustainable employment. Cole’s impact does not stop there. As an economic engine for the Atlanta community, Cole (in partnership with another philanthropist) has also paid rent for local businesses, paid the tuition of 30 Clark Atlanta students, and provided coats to those in need. Cole also purchased a car and life insurance for the family of Rayshard Brooks who was slain by police in the Spring of 2020 outside an Atlanta fast-food restaurant. She is on a campaign to support the health and generational wealth of the community by encouraging Black males under a particular income threshold to get life insurance, among other initiatives.*** Grab the Podcast EBOOK?? **http://www.podcastebook.comGO SUBSCRIBE to The Brain Picker Podcast on All Streaming Platforms!!Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/social-proof-podcast/id1374373035Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6GT6VgjBy0zviALR8xkRe1?si=82LcP8siQXGVHb2ibg5axA&nd=1Donni on IG : https://www.instagram.com/donniwiggins_/David on IG : http://www.instagram.com/sleepis4suckers#entrepreneur #smallbusiness #podcast #howtoAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
