Slutty Vegan Spreads the Love with Newly Signed Franchise Deals in Washington, D.C. and Atlanta

June 22, 2026 // Franchising.com // ATLANTA – Slutty Vegan has officially signed franchise agreements to bring the rapidly growing concept to Washington, D.C. and further grow the brand’s roots in Atlanta, the city where Slutty Vegan first began its cultural movement and cult following. The expansion marks a major milestone in the company’s continued national growth plan.

As the company enters its next phase of growth, Slutty Vegan has intentionally partnered with operators who understand both the business and the culture behind the brand. Khadejah Davis and Jamel Douglas are the first Slutty Vegan franchise owners to officially open and operate a location in Atlanta.

Already recognized as successful multi-unit franchise owners of Juici Patties, Davis and Douglas are now expanding their restaurant portfolio with Slutty Vegan. The duo brings proven experience in scaling high-performing food brands to one of the most culture-driven and nationally recognized concepts in the industry.

In Washington, D.C., franchise veteran Brandi Forte will lead development efforts across the market. Already immersed in the Slutty Vegan experience, Forte brings years of franchising knowledge and a strong understanding of community-driven growth.

“Atlanta is where Slutty Vegan was born, and we’re planting deeper roots here while establishing our presence in D.C.,” said Pinky Cole Hayes, Founder and CEO of Slutty Vegan. “I was intentional about partnering with operators who understand our business and the culture because this is bigger than the burgers. We’re creating opportunity, legacy and proving what’s possible when you never give up.”

Since launching in Atlanta in 2018, Slutty Vegan has grown from a viral burger concept into a nationally recognized brand known for bold flavors, high-energy customer experiences, and community impact. The brand’s founder, Pinky Cole Hayes, is a best-selling author and philanthropist who built the brand from a single food truck into a cultural phenomenon.
