Stassi Schroeder provided fans with a sneak peek at the upcoming L.A. sandwich shop, Something About Her, owned by Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix. Schroeder took to her Instagram Story on June 12th to share a glimpse of the Parisian-inspired eatery, boasting light blue walls and a collection of paintings.
Schroeder and Maloney were amazed by the sky blue walls in the video, with Schroeder expressing her admiration and Maloney making a playful comment about it feeling illegal. Other cast members like Lala Kent and Kristina Kelly also participated in the video, with Kent showcasing the store's exterior, complete with a yellow and white striped awning and a sign bearing the store's name. Kent even gave a shoutout to Maloney, calling her a "boss bitch."
"We were initially aiming to open Something About Her by the end of May, but as is often the case with restaurant openings, there have been some delays," shared Maloney in a recent podcast interview with "So Bad It's Good With Ryan Bailey". However, she reassured fans that the restaurant will be opening this summer and that they are eagerly anticipating the grand opening.
During a 2021 episode of Vanderpump Rules, Maloney shared her plan to open a sandwich shop, originally intending to do so with her then-husband Tom Schwartz. However, due to Schwartz's focus on his restaurant business with Tom Sandoval at the time, Maloney ultimately partnered with Ariana instead.
Madix is preparing to open the shop amidst the tense aftermath of her breakup with Sandoval. Back in March, it was revealed that the couple had ended their nine-year relationship after Madix uncovered Sandoval's affair with fellow cast member Raquel Leviss. Despite the difficult situation, Madix expressed gratitude towards her loved ones and supporters for their unwavering support during this trying time.
"I am incredibly grateful for the overwhelming love and support I have received over the past two weeks from my loved ones and even strangers. Your unwavering support has given me the strength to persevere through my darkest moments, despite feeling devastated and broken. It's comforting to know that I am not facing this alone, as many of my closest friends are also struggling with this loss and betrayal. I am incredibly fortunate to have the best support system imaginable, and I hope to repay each and every one of you for the love you have shown me. As they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. With love, Ariana."
Following the revelation of Sandoval and Leviss’ affair, Maloney has been a constant source of support for Madix. In April, the two went on a girls trip to the U.K. and Maloney stood by her side at all three parts of the Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion in May and June. Taking to social media, Maloney expressed her gratitude towards fans who reached out to support Madix and her sandwich shop. In an Instagram Story post, she stated that the overwhelming response had left Madix feeling grateful and appreciative.
Madix has left the drama with her ex behind and has now found a new beau in Daniel Wai, whom she met at a wedding a few weeks after her breakup with Sandoval. The couple recently enjoyed a night of partying together at Governors Ball in New York on Monday, June 12.
