Kevin Hart's Vegan Fast-Food Chain Hart House Abruptly Closes All Locations
The plant-based restaurant chain shut down its four Los Angeles locations without warning, citing economic challenges and rising costs.
- Hart House, launched by Kevin Hart in 2022, closed all its locations on September 10, 2024.
- The chain offered a fully plant-based menu, including burgers, 'chick’n' sandwiches, and milkshakes.
- CEO Andy Hooper thanked the team and customers but did not provide a specific reason for the closure.
- California's new $20 minimum wage law and high inflation rates have led to increased operational costs for fast-food restaurants.
- The closures come amidst a broader trend of fast-food joint shutdowns in Los Angeles due to economic pressures.
