Company Description

Soul Slice is first-to-market with soul food on pizza at a time when the pandemic is going to be around for a while.

As a Benefit "B" Corp, we give our employees full-time, salaried jobs, profit-sharing and ownership opportunities to help them build wealth.

With simple, fresh, low cost ingredients, our fine-casual To-go/Delivery stores are designed to be fast to launch, high margin and easy to take to new markets.

If pizza and soul food can both heal, imagine them together.

Pizza is a proven to-go/delivery and high-margin model and Soul Slice hopes to be riding that wave. After a few locations in Oakland, CA, leased and built out at pandemic prices, we aim to quickly scale to additional stores in these early markets: Atlanta, NY, Louisville, L.A., Chicago and Houston. Annual revenues are hoped to to be $25 million in Year 5, with a 24% margin before employee profit-sharing. After that? It's our hope that a lot of partners/acquirers will be interested and we will ride that wave, too!

These projections cannot be guaranteed.

Given the Company’s limited operating history, the Company cannot reliably estimate how much revenue it will receive in the future, if any.
