Vanderpump Rules stars Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney are opening a new sandwich shop in West Hollywood called Something About Her, at 640 N Robertson Blvd. The new restaurant is moving into the former home of Flower Burger, which closed in the summer of 2022.
A moving van was spotted in front of the storefront on Friday. Movers were carrying in chairs, patio furniture, kitchen appliances and light fixtures. Workers were fixing chandeliers, working on signage, and installing glass shelving throughout the day.
Madix told People Magazine that she thought the space would be open by this summer. According to one of the workers, the sandwich shop may open as soon as mid-to-late June.
The stars of Vanderpump Rules are setting up their sandwich shop just a few doors down from Lisa Vanderpump’s SUR, and a short walk to Lisa’s Pump Lounge restaurant, which is slated to close for good in June after being open in West Hollywood for 10 years.
Something About Her is also not far from Tom Tom restaurant belonging to their exes Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz. News of the restaurant venture came out in the midst of scandal where Sandoval reportedly had an affair with Raquel Leviss.
The affair came to light at the same time that Vanderpump’s two highly profiled West Hollywood restaurants, Pump Lounge, at 8948 Santa Monica Blvd., and Tom Tom Restaurant, at 8932 Santa Monica Blvd., both had their liquor licenses suspended on Wednesday, March 8.
Maddix And Malone launched a Something About here online store back in March, which features an array of sweatshirts, T-shirts, hats, and phone cases, all of which retail for under $50. They monetized the restaurant while it sat empty for almost a year.
Vanderpump Rules hosted a party in the space back in September, 2022, to celebrate Something About Her, which was filmed for the reality TV show. Viewers of the show got a glimpse inside where guests tasted various subs, including a Greek salad sandwich and a spicy turkey sandwich. The signage was cryptic in the window. We now know that the space is a new restaurant with a Vanderpump connection.
The place has a few weeks to be ready for opening, but people are already stopping by to take selfies in front of the empty space with the signage linking them to Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney.
There will be more on the opening as information becomes available.
