As ***[AllAboutTRH](https://allabouttrh.com/)*** previously reported, Lisa Vanderpump [announced on May 4](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/05/05/lisa-vanderpumps-pump/)that her longtime WeHo hotspot *PUMP *would be closing its doors after ten years. The [WeHo](https://allabouttrh.com/2021/11/05/lisa-vanderpump-clarifies-her-comments-after-getting-slammed-for-speaking-out-against-raising-west-hollywood-minimum-wage/) hotspot opened its doors in 2014 to rave reviews. The restaurant will have one ***"last hurrah"*** for [Pride month](https://allabouttrh.com/2019/07/01/andy-cohen-and-the-real-housewives-attend-the-nyc-pride-parade-together/) in June before *PUMP* officially closes in July. In a statement, the *[Pump Rules](https://allabouttrh.com/category/vanderpump-rules/)* star said: ***"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 ten years of beautiful evenings under our olive trees. 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."*** At the time, Lisa blamed the closure on an increase in rent; however, not the landlord for *PUMP* is [telling a different story](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/05/02/lisa-vanderpump-rhobh/). Lisa's landlord released a statement on the closure of *PUMP* to *[Deadline](https://deadline.com/2023/05/lisa-vanderpump-to-close-west-hollywood-pump-restaurant-featured-on-reality-show-1235357011/)*. In the statement, the landlord claims that PUMP has struggled since the pandemic while denying claims of an increase in rent. The landlord also suggests that rent payments were missed. The statement read: ***“Lisa’s comments regarding the rent for Pump are not accurate. We did not raise the rent and, in fact, have been nothing but supportive as they tried to catch up on lease obligations, including forgiving some rent during Covid.”*** Despite the closure of *PUMP*, Lisa still has two thriving restaurants in West Hollywood - *SUR* and *[Tom Tom](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/03/13/abc-suspends-liquor-licenses-at-lisa-vanderpumps-west-hollywood-eateries-tom-tom-and-pump/)*.
