Is Lisa Vanderpump’s PUMP Restaurant Over & Done?

Lisa Vanderpump may be losing another restaurant. In 2020, she closed Villa Blanca after eleven years. It initially closed at the start of the pandemic and then the decision was made to not reopen. Now, it looks like PUMP may be in jeopardy as well. According to Reality Blurb!, Lisa Vanderpump needs to renew her lease. If she does not do this within the next 90 days, PUMP could be gone for good. This news comes nearly a month after two of her restaurants’ liquor licenses were suspended. PUMP was one of them but she assured her fans, via social media, that everything was fine.

Along with PUMP, TomTom was the other restaurant that dealt with suspension. However, the owners including Vanderpump and her husband Ken Todd, have had to do immense damage control over there. Since the scandal broke that partial owner, Tom Sandoval had been having an affair with Raquel Leviss, things have been murky. Fans have been leaving scathing reviews on Yelp and Google about TomTom and Sandoval’s other restaurant, Schwartz and Sandy’s. They are in support of Tom’s scorned longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix so a liquor license was the least of their worries.

As for PUMP and its fate, it appears that Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd are at a standstill. Per Eater, they can not agree with their landlord thus the holdup. Due to this, it appears the location is now up for sale. An Instagram post had the listing details: “CityStreet Commercial is pleased to present 8948 Santa Monica Blvd in the heart of West Hollywood. 8948 Santa Monica Blvd sits along West Hollywood’s ‘Boy’s Town,’ an area that is a popular destination for locals with high foot traffic and an amazing demographic and mix of single-family and multi-family homes.”

What Will Happen?

Along with the listing were photos of PUMP. This begs the question of what will happen to Lisa Vanderpump’s infamous restaurant. It has been showcased on Vanderpump Rules numerous times. However, could this be the ending of it all? Last month, LVP spoke with Entertainment Tonight about the situation. The RHOBH alum explained this: “We’ve been in the Pump location for 10 years, have a great relationship with the landlord, and are currently discussing resigning our lease over the next few months, but haven’t made a decision and will be open tonight.”

She is also adding two new venues in Las Vegas so there is a lot on the mogul’s plate. Do you think that Lisa Vanderpump will ultimately find a resolution at the last minute? Moreover, do you think business has been impacted by the ‘Scandoval’ and taken a toll at all of her restaurants? Let us know your thoughts and watch Vanderpump Rules Wednesdays on Bravo.
