Lisa Vanderpump says she’s closing down her restaurant, Pump Restaurant Lounge, based in West Hollywood.
“It’s with heavy hearts that we announce that the lease at Pump Restaurant is expiring, and we will be closing its doors on July 5th, after 10 years of beautiful evenings under our olive trees,” a statement from LVP’s camp says.
The landlords upped the rent for the venue, so the couple, LVP and Ken Todd, decided to cut their loses. The rent is already reportedly close to a million dollars a year.
“While we have loved our time operating Pump, to take on another 10-year lease with a huge increase in rent by the landlords, is not something we are ready to commit to. After successfully running 37+ establishments for many years, this type of rent is untenable,” the statement continued.
The couple shut down their Villa Blanca restaurant back in 2020 for the same reasons…the rent was raised.
