Lisa Vanderpump’s PUMP Brand Not Dead Despite Restaurant Closing
Lisa Vanderpump‘s iconic West Hollywood restaurant PUMP’s doors are closed, but that doesn’t mean the brand is done, according to Lisa … who’s filling us in on what’s next.
Lisa tells TMZ … she’s not shelving the PUMP brand, and fans of the longtime hot spot could see it in a new location at some point in the future.
She says she’s taking some of her longtime PUMP staff — bartenders, the chef, and others — over to TomTom, which she co-owns with Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz.
LV says she loves her crew and is thrilled to have them move just 3 doors down to TomTom. What’s more, we’re told some of the popular menu items from PUMP are coming over, too … although it’s unclear which ones will make the final cut.
BTW, Lisa says all of the bougie PUMP furniture will go to a warehouse she uses for personal belongings … because none of it fits the decor at TomTom.
As we reported, the WeHo landmark restaurant started getting the ol’ teardown on Tuesday, the day before its official closing date.
The building was PACKED over the holiday weekend as the “Vanderpump Rules” crew filmed a farewell scene.
