It's the end of an era for Vanderpump Rules fans.
Lisa Vanderpump is closing her famed West Hollywood restaurant Pump for good.
"It's with heavy hearts that we announce that the lease at Pump Restaurant is expiring," the Bravo star told E! News on May 4, "and we will be closing its doors on July 5th after 10 years of beautiful evenings under our olive trees."
As for the reason why? TMZ reports Lisa's landlords raised their yearly rent to a whopping $1 million.
"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," the 62-year-old restauranteur added. "After successfully running 37+ establishments for many years, this type of rent is untenable."
Lisa concluded, "Thank you for the past decade of support, we have loved our staff, our patrons and our time together."
Pump opened down street from Lisa's SUR restaurant in 2014 and quickly became a hotspot for celebrity Bravoholics, including Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Lawrence.
Pump has also been featured many times on both The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Vanderpump Rules.
Lisa's restaurant TomTom—co-owned by Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz—is also just a few doors down on the same block.
Despite the eatery's closing, Lisa reportedly has new business ventures on the horizon. A source told TMZ she's opening two more restaurants at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Lisa already has one Sin City location—Vanderpump à Paris—at the same resort.
