As it first got here out on Tuesday, Lisa and her husband Ken Todd‘s eating places Pump and TomTom reportedly had their liquor licenses suspended by California officers earlier this month.

Well, we at the moment are studying a little bit extra about what’s being occurring. According to a report printed by ET on Wednesday, the constructing through which Lisa and Ken run Pump is being flipped. The outlet notes the couple does not personal the restaurant’s storefront location — they merely lease the house from a landlord — and that proprietor is “currently looking for a new tenant.”
Uh-oh!!
ET quoted a dealer named Leslie Haro from City Street Commercial about the true property transfer:
“The business is being sold, but not the real estate and they’re looking for a long-term tenant.”
Well, that’d be an enormous change! It occurs within the restaurant enterprise, in fact. Few industries are more durable than that one. And a supply did additionally inform the outlet in the identical report that Pump “had a hard time with the COVID pandemic” not too long ago.
Still, Pump has been a mainstay in WeHo. So it looks as if that is all coming to an finish very abruptly!

But wait! Not so quick, y’all. When ET requested Lisa herself for touch upon the obvious actual property downside, the 62-year-old Bravo-lebrity denied any points in any respect!! She launched a powerful assertion to the magazine about how Pump administration is “currently discussing” whether or not to go in on one other lease for the long run:
“We’ve been in the Pump location for ten years, have a great relationship with the landlord, and are currently discussing re-signing our lease over the next few months, but haven’t made a decision and will be open tonight, and come by and have a Pumptini.”
And she bragged about her different venues, too. Those institutions embody TomTom, Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, and Vanderpump à Paris — the latter two of that are doing properly at Caesars Palace out in Las Vegas:
“We’re also currently expanding our empire and will be opening two more restaurants with Caesars Palace.”
So that might appear to be that for the restaurant rumors.
Of course, it’s fascinating to notice that Lisa technically did simply say her workforce is “currently discussing” entering into on one other Pump lease however “haven’t made a decision” but. Does that probably go away her a little bit wiggle room in case this obvious landlord loophole modifications or one thing?! Just questioning…
