Grand opening, grand closing. Kevin Hart shuttered all 4 of his vegan restaurants in Los Angeles without warning.
According to The Blast, the comedian/actor opened his first vegan restaurant, Hart House, in Los Angeles in August 2022. He later opened three more locations.
But all four locations were abruptly shut down on September 10 with no explanation.
Ex-employees were told the restaurants were closed when they showed up for work on September 10. Men were seen loading restaurant equipment into a semi truck parked outside one of the locations.
Hart House sold t-shirts just 3 days before the restaurant chain closed down.
Hart House CEO Andy Hooper confirmed the closures in a post on Instagram.
“Thank you. To our team, guests, and community, who helped make the change we all craved. A Hartfelt goodbye for now as we start a new chapter,” Hooper wrote.
The restaurant’s website is still active online.
The restaurant thanked customers for their support in a post on the Hart House Instagram account. The comments are restricted under the post.
