Lisa Vanderpumpis still the boss at TomTom and she doesn’t wantTom SandovalandTom Schwartzto forget it.
On Tuesday’s episode ofVanderpump Rules,The Real Housewives of Beverly Hillsalumnaannounced she was relocating her restaurant Pump into the garden area of TomTom, her joint venture with Sandoval and Schwartz.
“As difficult as it was to lose Pump, we had some staff that we loved and adored for many years, including the chef. So we moved it all to TomTom,” Vanderpump said in interview during the March 12 episode.
TomTom’s Garden Bar was turned into the new Pump location, Vanderpump told PEOPLE last summer. At the time, Vanderpump toldTMZthat the Garden Bar space lacked its own identity so Pump’s staff, food and drink menu and aesthetic will all be part of the move.

“Oh,” he said hesitantly, staring at a wrought iron gate that read “Pump” on it. “Okay.”
“Is this Pump now?” he asked Vanderpump.
“I left that up there just to ease myself gently,” she replied before discussing the other elements of Pump being incorporated into TomTom.
The pair sat in the garden while Vanderpump described how the redone Garden Bar would be “much more dining oriented” now that she is moving Pump’s chef Kiko to TomTom.
“It feels a little weird that this happened without either Schwartz and I knowing about it,” the musician said in a confessional.
“I don’t think we would ever consult a 2.5% partner,” Vanderpump quipped with a smirk in her own confessional.
