Nationwide — Pinky Cole, an African American entrepreneur and founder of the famous Slutty Vegan, said her Bentley was stolen outside her new sandwich shop, Voagies, in Atlanta. The theft happened just one day after she got the car back from the shop. “Y’all I swear this car is not good luck,” Cole said in an Instagram video. “We at Voagies and somebody just stole the car, that we just got out of the shop yesterday, in front of the restaurant — while we got people standing in line, ordering food.”
Cole explained that three people on scooters pulled up outside Voagies, jumped into her black Bentley Bentayga, and sped off. The incident happened in broad daylight, with customers watching from the sidewalk.
Her video showed the abandoned scooters and shocked bystanders. She confirmed that police were called and asked anyone who sees the car to send her a message.
According to 11Alive, the car theft happened during a major weekend for Cole. She had just reopened her original storefront as Voagies, a new vegan hoagie restaurant. At the grand opening, she shared how she recently bought back control of her business after facing financial struggles earlier this year.
Despite the car being stolen, Cole stayed positive. She called Voagies the first chapter of “Slutty Vegan 2.0” and said she’s confident the new concept will grow into a global brand.
“We can’t catch a break… but you know, God is still good,” she said.
