Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney FINALLY set opening date for money-pit sandwich shop Something About Her following years of delays and ‘more than $1 MILLION in expenses’

Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney’s highly anticipated Something About Her sandwich shop will have its grand opening on May 22, 2024.

It comes nearly three years after the friends and business partners — who co-star on Vanderpump Rules — secured their LLC.

A source told the Sun that Ariana, 38, and Katie, 37, will have soft openings ahead of the official opening date.

According to the release, the grocery store will host a “major WeHo Pride celebration” during West Hollywood’s annual Pride Weekend from Friday, May 31 through Sunday, June 2.

‘The inside of the store is ready for use. Everything is still in place, as teased on the show,” the insider said.

Madix and Maloney are reportedly waiting for a sign on the storefront and for the patio to be reconstructed after it was demolished due to a permit issue.

It comes after Katie assured fans last month that Something About Her would open soon when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

During the episode, host Andy, 55, fielded a question from a viewer who asked when the opening will be.

“I don’t want to say opening day because…” Katie began.

‘Right. This year?’ Andy then asked.

“Oh, sure. I told you at the reunion. You know it’s coming very soon. So very quickly,” Katie said, giving a definitive answer.

Ariana and Katie first announced their plans to open a gourmet sandwich shop in 2022.

Initially, the launch would take place in May of the following year.

Last year, the stars took into account the unforeseen circumstances that derailed their schedule by playfully crossing out the opening of “2022” and swapping it with “2023.”

A source told the US Sun that Ariana, 38, and Katie’s, 37, will have soft openings ahead of the official opening date.

However, the store’s launch was hit by numerous delays, with Ariana revealing they had to ‘jump through a lot of hoops’ to obtain the correct permits.

The Instagram page for the store – which has 392,000 followers – is currently inactive, with a single post from January 2022.

In the meantime, Ariana has been delving into her other professional products, including a cocktail recipe book called Single AF Cocktails: Drinks for Bad B*tches.

She is also the star of Chicago on Broadway, wowing live audiences with her portrayal of Roxie Hart.
