Atlanta entrepreneur Pinky Cole experienced a mix of highs and lows over the weekend as she celebrated the opening of her new restaurant, Voagies, while also dealing with the theft of her black Bentley Bentayga. According to FOX 5 Atlanta, the vehicle was taken right outside the sandwich shop on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard in Atlanta.
The incident occurred yesterday, with the theft following the grand opening of Voagies, a 100% vegan hoagie shop. As reported by 11Alive, Cole took to Instagram to announce the theft, posting: "Y'all I swear this car is not good luck. 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 st nading in line, ordering food."
The Bentley had been freshly serviced just the day before it was taken. In the aftermath, three scooters, which are believed to have been used by the thieves, were found abandoned at the scene. Cole's Instagram video showed the scooters lying on the ground as bystanders expressed their shock. Cole has requested her followers to remain vigilant, saying, "If you see a Bentley in Atlanta, a black Bentley, send me a DM," as noted by 11Alive.
Pinky Cole is not new to the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. Voagies represents a comeback after Slutty Vegan, her previous venture, faced financial distress requiring her to temporarily cede control. As she explained during the grand opening, according to 11Alive: "This is the first business in Slutty Vegan 2.0. This is a hoagie shop like you have never experienced before." Her optimism remained steadfast as she aims to see Voagies reach global success.
As police continue their investigation into the theft of Cole's luxury vehicle, the entrepreneur keeps her spirits high and her focus on the future of her new brand.
